“Our judges will be Kristin Hardiman, a very well respected Scotts Head artist as well as Zeny from Zeny’s Photo Centre who will judge the photography,” said NVAC publicity officer Vicki Willing.

“There will also be a People’ s Choice where members of the public can cast their vote.”

With prizes worth over $7,000, NVAC hopes to attract works from artists, craftspeople and photographers living across the Nambucca Valley and beyond.

“In past years we have received up to 400 paintings and photos as well as craft items such as glass items, ceramics, mosaics and sculpture, as well as other handmade objects,” Vicki said.

Works will be displayed in the Stringer Gallery and the Main Hall of the Community and Arts Building in Ridge Street, Nambucca Heads.

“In all there will be 11 sections for different mediums such as oil/acrylic, watercolour, pastel and drawing, photography and craft as well as miniature paintings and a painting of the Nambucca Valley.”

The showcase will kick off with an opening night on Saturday, 27 September from 7pm.

Entry to the opening night is $10 (children are free), which includes finger food and a voucher for a glass of wine.

The exhibition will run until Monday, 6 October.

Entry at all other times is $5.
