The Cost of Living: Creative Workshop with Peggy Zephyr
Artist Peggy Zephyr invites participants to take part in a larger community-led art project exploring the real cost of living, not financially but emotionally, socially, and physically.
These works become part of The Cost of Living, an evolving exhibition where community voices and experiences are represented. Your making on the day contributes directly to the exhibition, meaning participants become collaborators in a collective artwork that will be publicly exhibited.
Gowings MAKE/SPACE Program
In partnership with Gowings Bros. Ltd, MAKE/SPACE offers short-term creative activation opportunities in Gowings retail spaces across Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, and Port Macquarie.
Designed to support local artists and makers, Make/Space encourages experimental exhibitions, interactive workshops, and engaging studio spaces that bring art to life in unexpected places.
International Women's Day Community Exhibition
In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, Arts Mid North Coast's MAKE/SPACE program presents a community exhibition exploring the theme Balance the Scales.
The exhibition showcases artists from across the Mid North Coast who are using creativity to reflect on where imbalance exists, where change is happening, and how art can help imagine fairer futures- a creative response to equity, gender balance, power, care, justice and how this is represented in our homes, our communities, and the wider world.
