Old Fireshed Gallery

The Old Fireshed Gallery was converted into a much-needed gallery in 2003, when the Rural Fire Service moved to their new fireshed. Since then it has been a popular and successful exhibition space for local artists, and some from further afield. A new exhibition is held every month. It is an artist - run venue, with the WVAC only requiring 10% of gross sales, and hence very popular.


Our next exhibition …

 'TAOTOCS'

 THE ARTISTS OF THE OLD SCHOOL STUDIO

"The Taotoc artists return with a fresh collection of paintings, prints and cards. Set against the charm of Wollombi's winter landscape, this exhibition brings together the diverse work of a collective of artists who share both a studio space and a deep passion for art. Each artist brings their own voice to the exhibition: landscapes, abstracts, miniatures and drawings."
