DOCUMENTARY
The Penny Effect
'The Penny Effect', developed by artist and nephew of Penny Paniz, Mr Glenn Saddler, highlights the influence that accomplished artist and former Art Society member, Penny Paniz, had on the development of visual arts in Leeton.
The short video is a collection of Penny’s artworks, Prize winners of the PPAA over the past 7 years, and a record of the memories of those who worked and created alongside Penny, and is an important resource for the Leeton Art Society Inc and its members for years to come.
