Celebrating Artists on the Far South Coast
Durras to Bermagui.. including Tilba District!
18 - 27 September 2020
Local resident - Kate Wall says "With a turbulent 10 months behind us and the lingering effects of Covid 19, a few of us thought it was important to keep a River of Art presence going in the southern areas of the 'River of Art' catchment".
And so .. here we are - an opportunity to see the work of local artists and crafts people at some of your favourite venues around Tilba District:
- Small Hall in Central Tilba - double up with a Saturday morning visit to Tilba Market in the Big Hall
- Tilba Valley Winery and Alehouse - Old Highway Corunna - fill a lazy Sunday arvo with wine, music & art
- Dromedary Hotel - where else would you go for good beer, great food, old fashioned hospitality?
- ABC Cheese Factory - 27 Bate Street Central Tilba - Tilba's favourite go to for REAL dairy
- 'Tall Trees' Art Workshop' - Open Studio, 16 Ridge Road Corunna - Kate Wall & David Whitfield

Special mention of a collaboration between local artists - Amy Spurgeon and Monty O'Brien and the students of Central Tilba Primary School.
The work showcases the strength of the young people in our community through a series of video portraits. Set against the backdrop of Mount Gulaga, the children offer a message of hope for the future.
The project was made possible by the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, provided through Regional Arts Australia, and in NSW through Regional Arts NSW.
