We have had the recent opportunity to catch up with local artists - in Lismore - who are working away, creating really beautiful, expressive and interesting works - but have so little opportunity to show their works. We endeavour to show many such artists - and the room and schedule to exhibit is, unfortunately, so limited! From what we have recently seen, though, there can only be room made for excellence, the excellence that these people actually produce - and in our own humble, little gallery. Although we know our reach is well beyond our location. In August, Lismore and Nimbin Tourism will be running Arts in August - in its second year. Its a great endeavour and we plan on exposing some of our recent finds, even though the artists we reference here have been doing it for a long time and are in no way constrained in their sophistication by any region. There is excellence to be acknowledged all throughout the Northern Rivers (and we will be presenting them too, just as we have tried to do since opening almost three years ago). To our Lismore artists, though, we can only say, WOW!!! - to be very colloquial and perhaps less than explanatory of the depth and richness of the work. Arts in August will be something that we will take up with much vigour this year. We remain gobsmacked at the richness of these parts and the quality of art work that emanates from our fellow humans here!! The world should know about them! In due course, hopefully the world will.
