THE Nambucca Valley’s creative community is coming together once again for a heartfelt and joyful exhibition titled “Friends”.
The exhibition opens on Saturday, 29 November at the Nambucca Valley Phoenix Gallery and Café.
This colourful showcase is part of the Art with Heart series and brings together local artists Barbara Mott, Carmel Mott, Kristine Reynolds, and Abbey Jae, whose collective works explore the warmth, joy and connection found in friendship.
The artist’s work is facilitated by Nelli Gallop and features bold colours, expressive figures, and meaningful storytelling in an exhibition that promises to uplift and inspire.
The official opening event will run from 10am to 1pm, offering the perfect opportunity to meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and soak in the uplifting atmosphere of creative expression.
More than just an exhibition, Friends also offers a way to give back.
Ten percent of all art sales will be donated to Backpack Beds for Homeless, a not-for-profit organisation providing emergency bedding for people sleeping rough across Australia.
So, every purchase supports both local artists and a national cause.
The show will run until 10 January , giving locals and visitors ample time to experience the vibrant collection in the welcoming space of the Gallery and Café, a community hub run by Nambucca Valley Phoenix, which continues to support creativity, inclusion and social enterprise in the region.
Whether you’re a long-time art lover or simply seeking a meaningful outing, Friends is a must-visit event that celebrates human connection, community, and the power of art to bring people together.
The gallery is located at 88 High Street, Bowraville.
