FOR the third year running, the Nambucca Valley Women’s Business Network (NVWBN) Women in Art exhibition opened to popular acclaim at Macksville’s Matilda Street Art Gallery.
This year 44 local women artists exhibited a variety of works, ranging from ceramics, textiles, pastels, oils, acrylics, etchings, photography and lino printing.
Libby Foster, President of the NVWBN, observed that the exhibition goes from strength to strength each year.
“An enormous amount of work goes into this exhibition each year, from our dedicated committee members organising everything from artist EOIs, catering, event organisation and promotion, to the artists themselves who have spent tireless hours on their works for exhibition,” Ms Foster said.
“We were thrilled to see the turn out, with more than 120 people through the doors on the day.
“Every person that came along on the day was there to show support and celebrate the exhibiting artists, which aligns perfectly with our network’s ethos of supporting, inspiring and empowering local women.
“Special thanks go to our sponsors, including Diana Does Books, Coastal Wealth Directions, Sarah Jae Photography and Doula, Fortade, Hot Oily Mumma, Heather Hinton Celebrant and end of life doula, and Bold Marketing Services – without their support this event could not go ahead.”
NVWBN meets bi-monthly at different locations across the Nambucca Valley.
The next meeting will be at the Cubana in Nambucca Heads in June.

The exhibition will run until the end of the first week in June.
