In August students were given the reigns to their creativity in a series of workshops organised by Medlow Public School principal Sarah Landers.
After applying for an arts education grant last year, the Valley received $5,500 to go towards the workshops held at different locations around the Shire, and an exhibition at the Nambucca Community and Arts Centre.
Our youngest artistes have been working hard over the past few months to produce landscapes of the Nambucca to enter the Valley 10 Schools Creative Art Exhibition.
Nambucca Valley Arts Council (NVAC) exhibition coordinator Peta Coe said the council had been waiting for over a year for an opportunity to involve more of our Valley’s students in community art, and hopefully generate more interest from young entrants in the Biennial Art Exhibition.
The Valley 10 exhibition will run from next Wednesday to December 13 at the Ridge St gallery and everyone is welcome to attend the grand opening which will be held this Saturday from 6pm.
