Featuring over 50 local artists, New Year: New Work reveals the vitality and diversity of the Coffs Coast arts community and brings art and business together. Presented by the Friends of the Gallery, each artwork is supported by a local business. The artists have had free rein to create what they want with a square piece of plywood - be inspired by their imagination.
