Small School – BIG ART!
Inspired by the diversity and creativity of the arts and crafts of the Mornington Peninsula, Somers Primary School will hold its annual fundraising event—the 20th Annual Somers Arts Fair on Sunday 22nd October 2023.
The Somers Arts Fair is famous around the Mornington Peninsula because it embodies three of the reasons that make the Peninsula such an exceptional place; it takes a strong sense of community support, an appreciation of fine art and a relaxed and entertaining social occasion and combines all of these into a wonderful day for a wonderful cause.
