The Gallery has reopened!
Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery welcomed visitors back on Saturday 12 June after a temporary closure to assess and repair damage caused by a burst water pipe in the Rigby House building in March.
The gallery team appreciates the support from the community and exhibiting artists over the last couple of months as we rescheduled our 2021 Program.
We look forward to presenting the following exhibitions to celebrate our 20th Anniversary at Rigby House:
