The Phenomenal Faces exhibit opens on Friday, September 19, from 6pm at the hotel, with art from Pete Conroy, Daniel Wein, Chris Duffy and Tilly Keenan on display.
Director Alan Davidson said drinks and nibbles will be on offer at the opening, and a slew of new work in various styles has been sourced for the event.
“It looks like I’m going to have between 30 and 40 new pieces all up from the four artists,” he said.

“All the artists are very, very different. They’re all portraiture artists, and there’s pop art and abstract art ... Tilly’s stuff is very monochrome.”
Mr Davidson tries to make sure his pop-up exhibitions follow a new theme each time, with his most recent centred around florals and native plants.
Work from the 18 or so artists represented by Murray River Art is also on display at Sweet Meadow, The Wren Courtyard, Port 53 and Three Black Sheep.
Bendigo artist Chris Duffy will join the exhibition.

“They’re always popular. The people of Echuca-Moama like to come out and see what’s what, and hopefully, we can make a few sales,” Mr Davidson.
All items displayed at the Cal will be available to buy, and the Phenomenal Faces exhibition will run until Sunday, September 21.
