This is an exhibition open to all South Coast artists using any medium. This year’s entries include collaged wall pieces, paintings, sculptures, pottery and woodcraft.
The criteria for entrants is wide and includes any topic that presents the artists attitude to any meaning of the word “harbour”. The captivating views over Bermagui harbour with its boats of all kinds and its backdrop of Gulaga Mountain make it difficult to imagine other connotations of the word however.
Shop7 is Bermagui’s community gallery and most shop keepers in town offer sponsorship to an exhibiting artist of their choice by means of a gift voucher.
The exhibition will be opened to the public on Thursday evening, July 20 at 5.30pm. Everyone is invited to join the artists for a drink and a viewing then.

Lyndal is a regular exhibitor at Shop7 with another show in December. She will exhibit at Ivy Hill Gallery, Wapengo during the 2017/18 season and is part of the Four Winds Bermagui Project exhibiting at the ANU gallery foyer in October.
