Artists in focus
Nimbin Art Fair Winter 2022 ~ 2–17 July The Nimbin Art Fair, supporting local creatives. Buy local and keep our art industry alive. Hosted by Nimbin Artists Gallery, a notfor-profit organisation supporting local creatives, the Fair allows you to see the whole gamut of creative art from the vibrant arts community that is Nimbin and its surrounds. Northern NSW is billed as Australia’s arts and festivals capital, abundant in music, fab food, performance, and visual arts. An integral part of this cultural circuit are small shows that support locals, Nimbin Artists Gallery has been providing support for local artists for many years. Proceeds for art sales are primarily distributed to the artists. Nimbin Artists Gallery retains a small percentage and this money is used locally, for example, for an annual grant to Nimbin Central
School, and funds are also given to support local art initiatives. Works from local – but nationally renowned – artists, through to emerging practitioners, will be on view. There will be something to love for all, be they seasoned collectors or firsttime art buyers. Buying art and buying local helps keep our arts community alive. Nimbin Art Fair, Winter 2022, 2–17 July. Visit The Nimbin School of Arts: Open Daily 10am–5pm at 47 Cullen St, Nimbin. * Please note the best routes to Nimbin at present are via Murwillumbah, via Lismore, or via Kyogle. Phone 6689 1444.
