A VIBRANT pop-up art show is set to brighten an empty shopfront on Magnus Street, Nelson Bay for the first two weeks of October.
Local artists Gerry North and Nada O’Loughlin-Yonge are the creative minds behind the exhibition, showcasing a selection of their original paintings.
The temporary gallery at 112 Magnus Street, right next to Pizazz clothing store, is a spontaneous project inspired by the recent run of beautiful spring weather and the desire to bring a splash of colour and creativity back to the community.
“We thought, why not take advantage of the sunshine and give people something new and uplifting to enjoy?” said Nada.
“The space became available, and it just felt like the perfect time.”
The exhibition features a mix of styles and themes, reflecting the distinct artistic voices of both painters.
Locals and visitors alike are invited to drop in, browse the artwork, and chat with the artists. Whether you’re an art lover or simply enjoying a stroll through Nelson Bay’s town centre, this short-term exhibition promises to be a refreshing and colourful addition to the local scene.
The pop-up will be open daily from September 30th to October 12.
Entry is free.
A special opening event will be held on Thursday, 2 October at 5.30pm.
