Northern Rivers Creative Exhibition Callout

Northern Rivers Creative is calling out to the directory’s visual artists for inclusion in its first curated exhibition to be held at Byron Bay’s Lone Goat Gallery.

The weekend pop-up exhibition will open from Friday 7th May – Sunday 9th May and will feature up to 6 artists from the directory.

Exhibiting artists will receive a participation fee of $500 (yes, paid) and a feature in the May issue of national publication Art Edit Magazine, who Northern Rivers Creative have partnered with to feature a three-page story about the exhibition and exhibiting artists.
