NAROOMA GALLERY

Narooma Gallery

2024 was off to a good start with three exhibitions across January and February. A big thanks to all participating artists in the NSoA Members exhibition which ran from 6 December 2023 to the 5 January 2024. Each exhibition had very good attendance and sales. Locals and tourists alike come in to see the exhibitions, the gallery gives you our members, and other artists, an opportunity to have your work seen, appreciated and potentially purchased.

Wouldn’t it be great if every holiday house in Narooma, Kianga and Dalmeny had original art work bought through the Narooma Gallery.

We have two exhibitions booked for April and September. We will post details on the Gallery page on our website closer to the events. The Gallery will be open all year. If you have been thinking of having an exhibition submit an application now.
