A vibrant celebration of local creativity is set to take over MAKE/SPACE Port Central this March, as FILL IT brings together 25 artists from across the Mid North Coast in a dynamic community exhibition.
Featuring an eclectic mix of 2D and 3D works, FILL IT offers visitors the opportunity to connect directly with the region’s visual arts community. The exhibition highlights a diverse range of practices, with artists working across mediums including watercolour, oil painting, photography, and sculpture.
Hosted at MAKE/SPACE Port Central, the exhibition is part of an ongoing initiative supporting local artists. MAKE/SPACE has been made possible through the generous support of Gowing Pacific Traders, who have provided exhibition spaces at both Port Central and Coffs Central free of charge for use by the creative community, in partnership with Arts Mid North Coast.
Exhibition places were open to any artist wishing to participate, resulting in a rich and inclusive showcase that reflects the depth of talent across the region. Visitors can expect a vibrant and engaging display that celebrates both emerging voices and more established practices within the Mid North Coast arts scene.
FILL IT will be open to the public from Tuesday 24 March to Wednesday 1 April.
The opening celebration was held on Thursday 26 March at 5:30pm, with all members of the community attending to meet the artists and experience the exhibition.
All artworks on display are available for purchase, and the exhibition is proudly staffed by local volunteers, reinforcing its strong community focus.
Exhibiting artists: Carly Marchment, Sophia Morgan, Melanie Webb, Paula Daniel, Roxanne Gagnon, Patricia Daley, Melanie Hickling, Paul Witney, Lee Albert, Cheryl Blacklock, Rachel Urquhart, Leah Doeland, Deidre Garing, Gaynor Heading, Gai Southwell, Jamie Barber, Jan Herrera, Nicola McLeay, Kelly Crossingham, Jo Conroy, Liza Moscatelli, Kim McLean, Shyla Richards, Skye Petho and Bee Hudson.
MAKE/SPACE is located in Port Central, ground floor next to the old IGA site.
