Explorations of place and memory on show at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery

Northern Rivers Community Gallery (NRCG) launches its 2025 annual exhibition program, presenting four exhibitions this January that explore our connections to, and associations with, place and memory by local and interstate artists.
