Gallery Director, Iain Dawson said, "The arts defines us, challenges us, sustains and inspires us - Art Month Sapphire Coast is for everyone and is about culture, community and collaboration.
"We are fortunate to have so many talented artists, craftspeople and performers in the Bega Valley, offering studio and gallery tours, choirs and musicians, foodie trails, short films, book readings, dance classes, guided historic walks and other events and exhibitions," Mr Dawson said.
While the event is still a month away, BVRG remains optimistic the scheduled events will be able to welcome visitors to the Bega Valley region to share the excitement and talent, art and hospitality on offer.
"Visit our four arts precincts centred around Bermagui, Bega, Pambula/Merimbula and Eden. Take a gallery crawl, discover treasures in our many open studios or make a night of a live gig or a selection of short films. There's so much to discover, it's going to be a month of surprise and delight," Mr Dawson said.
"With such a varied and broad program, we are sure there is an exhibition or event that will appeal to everyone during Art Month Sapphire Coast.
"In the meantime, we will continue to monitor and follow advice given by NSW Health for the safety of our participants and audiences," Mr Dawson said.
Some of the major events include:
- The MOTEL Art Fair - a Friday evening celebration and Saturday Art Fair taking place in the Norfolk Pine Motel in Merimbula on 30 and 31 July.
- Far South Film Festival - three days of short films from regional Australia, online and at the Picture Show Man in Merimbula from 20 to 22 August.
- Open Studio Art Trail - discover the artists and creative spaces along the Tathra-Bermagui Road on 7 and 8 August.
