Laneway Panel Project

We are excited to announce the Laneway Panel Project!

Ten aluminium panels are waiting in the laneway directly south of the gallery for high quality artwork that is engaging and accessible, celebrates culture and community and encourages people to experience art in unexpected places and to think about Nowra CBD differently. An artist fee will be negotiated with the successful applicant. 

The artwork must be suitable for an outdoor environment and will be on display for up to 2 years.
