Nexus Art Gallery - Bellingen Community Arts Council (BCAC)

Nexus Art Gallery. Regular art exhibitions of painting, ceramics & sculpture at the Old Butter Factory Bellingen, near Coffs Harbour, mid north coast NSW

You’ll find the Nexus Gallery nestled in the historical Old Butter Factory complex. It is run solely by volunteers and is an important exhibition and gathering place for local artists and friends.

The Nexus Community Gallery hosts four members’ group shows each year, one of which is the Members’ Art Prize. The remainder of the year the gallery features month-long exhibitions by solo artists or groups of artists.

There are two exhibition spaces: The Main Gallery and The Studio.

Main Gallery

This month the Main Gallery features artist Kathryn Fenton and her ‘Eclectic Collection’.

“The main ideas I wanted to follow with this body of work was, above all, capturing the light and the life it brings forth as well as lively brushwork.

Towards the end of the last landscape paintings in the series, I was starting to gravitate toward more abstraction, purely by accident while juxtaposing two images.

It’s been a lovely piece of serendipity which has now set me on a course for a new body of work which I am quite excites about.”

Studio Gallery

Vibrant artworks in a spectrum of mediums are presented by six inspired artists in The Mix.

Their intriguing combinations of materials and techniques include collage, watercolour, graphite, charcoal, ink, pastel, acrylic and oil paint, as well as ceramic and timber.

Created by Donna Baines, Maureen Eley-Round, Lesley Hughes, Sharon Arnold, Evelyn Krosby and Atalanta Lloyd-Haynes

The Mix is the result of an ongoing interchange of interests and skills in the BCAC group Mixed Up Art. After nearly 3 years of conversations, collaborations and community service, The Mix is their first Nexus Show.
