In recent years the Casterton Rotary Club has taken on the task to turn the fantastic Art Deco Casterton Town Hall into a \u00a0spectacular display of artworks under the banner of the Kelpie Muster Art Show. The major prize offered is the Acquisitive Art Award, a subject category featuring artwork depicting Australia\u2019s iconic working dog, of course it\u2019s the Kelpie.
