Current Exhibition - Country to Coast

Country to Coast is an exhibition by members of the Dungog Arts Society, reflecting life across regional and coastal communities and the role art plays in connection and resilience. 

The exhibition showcases the diversity of its artists while exploring the environments in which they create. From quiet countryside moments in Dungog to the peaceful coastal horizons of Port Stephens, the collection highlights some of the region’s most beautiful landscapes and wildlife through the artists’ distinct perspectives. 

Visitors are invited to pause and engage closely with the work, to notice moments of calm and movement, vibrancy and contrast, light and shadow. Through landscapes and textile works, the artists explore both visual and emotional responses to the region’s changing environments. 

Dungog Arts Society members are fortunate to live between country and coast. Country to Coast celebrates this connection, bringing together diverse artistic voices and reflecting the Society’s commitment to strengthening community through art. 

Saturday 14 February — 22 March 
Open on Saturdays and Sundays 10 am – 4 pm 
Free entry. Donations welcome. 

Featured Artists: Ian Cunningham, Julia Cunningham, Cheryl Dall, Joan Dawson, Janelle Goldman, Lynne McNairn, Ira Morgan, Michelle Nickerson, Carol Rose, Gaye Shield, Janet Sternbeck, Marian Sternbeck, Bec Towers
