The Nambucca Valley Women’s Business Network (NVWBN) has issued a call for entries for its fourth annual 'Women in Art' exhibition, scheduled to open at the Matilda Street Gallery in Macksville on May 16. Local female artists from the Nambucca, Macleay, Hastings, and Bellinger valleys are invited to submit expressions of interest by May 7 to participate in the showcase, which featured nearly 100 works from 44 artists in its previous iteration.
This initiative serves as a vital platform for regional creative professionalization and community building, aligning with the NVWBN’s mission to empower and connect women across the valley. By providing a formal gallery space for local talent, the event fosters economic and social visibility for female artists while strengthening the cultural fabric of the Mid North Coast region.
