The Northern Rivers Community Gallery (NRCG) is now welcoming exhibition proposals for the 2026-27 exhibition period, from artists, designers, curators, community and cultural groups in all art forms that display innovative ideas and approaches to contemporary arts practice.
Established in 2007, NRCG is a prominent arts and cultural organisation in the Northern Rivers, fostering creativity and engagement through quality exhibitions and programs and supporting opportunities where arts and culture can thrive.
NRCG values socially engaged, research-based, and experimental projects that will captivate and challenge our audiences. We strongly encourage applications from First Nations artists, artists from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Deaf and Disabled artists and LGBTQIA+ artists.
Applications are now open and close on 11pm Sunday 31 August.
Gallery Coordinator, Imbi Davidson, will be hosting an information session at Ignite Studios from 5.30 – 6.30pm on Thursday 7 August where she will discuss the application process, how to prepare an effective application, how work is selected for the annual exhibition program, and what makes a strong submission.
This session is suitable for anyone who may wish to apply to exhibit with NRCG now or in the future. The event is free to attend, and no bookings are required. Ignite Studios is located at 60 Crane St Ballina.
The Northern Rivers Community Gallery is located at 44 Cherry Street Ballina and is open Wednesday to Friday from 9am until 3pm and weekends from 9.30am until 1pm. For further information contact the Gallery on 02 6681 0530 or visit the website www.nrcgballina.com.au
