Manager of the hub Heather Ferguson said that the night was a fantastic success.
"There was over 70 works for people to view and they were across all media from etchings to paintings to models and photographs as well as a number of textile pieces," she said.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Newbridge based photographer Wendy Smith won both the winning entry and the acquisitive prize for her photograph titled Fire and Steam, and after being one of the most dedicated participants in ToO, the award was welcome news.
"I'm just over the moon because it's quite hard to win a general art show with a photograph," she said. "People don't recognise that with a photograph you can't keep going over it like you can with a painting."
Printed on metal at 58 George in Bathurst, Mrs Smith's image was taken in Geurie during a vintage rail trip, and not specifically for the exhibition.
"I was able to get up really close and I couldn't take a photo like that here at Newbridge because on one is allowed on the station," she said.
Jane Tyack won the Loretta Kervin most promising award with her 'Tea Leaves' sculpture.
Six other works were sold on the night and the exhibition will be on from every Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm up until Friday April 30.
