The Project
Australians live in fairyland and believe in or refute various fairytales. This
is made possible by the unique geographic, historical and intellectual space
of our country.
Fairytales in Fairyland explores this sense of space both physical and conceptual
in Australia. The space is abundant and has produced many and varied outcomes
in our society. This unique space is expressed in the contemporary work by the
artists of the North Coast of New South Wales.
The focus on printmaking and ceramics for the project is in recognition of the
strength of practice in these fields by artists in this area. The strength of
these areas of practice has and is supported through the tertiary institutions
of the region and the movement of artists into the area over the last 40 years.

| - Seeking expressions of interest from artists and musicians - Art and Music by the Harbour | Art and Music by the Harbour We have Café and a Restaurant by the harbour in Coffs, with areas suitable for the display of artwork. We would like to showcase the work of local artists, which compliments the location and atmosphere of our premises. We would also like to have local musicians play in both the Restaurant and the Café. Our musical tastes are relatively conservative, as our customers range from regular Coffs Harbour locals who appreciate the unique ambiance and beauty of the harbour to the wide range of visitors who come to enjoy the sights and sounds of the harbour side precinct.
We are seeking expressions of interest from artists and musicians who would like to find out more about this exciting project.
