Guided by the skilled hand of artist Nelli Gallop, these individuals have transformed challenges into beautiful paintings, proving that art knows no bounds.

Their art will be available for purchase and Nelli advises that the artists have a following so it would be best to get in early to purchase a painting.

“The idea behind the group is that we have the freedom to create and the freedom to express ourselves as artists, hence the name of the exhibition,” facilitator Nelli Gallop told News Of The Area.

“I have been working with Art with Heart for a few years and we meet once a week at the Galleria in Wallace Street Macksville where I facilitate an art class.”

Each year the artists use their exhibition to raise money for a charity and this year a portion of the money from each work sold will be donated to Beyond Blue.

Freedom promises to be more than an art exhibition, it’s an invitation to connect with the artists and their stories.

Attendees will have the chance to meet the creators behind the paintings and gain insight into the inspiration behind each work.

The opening of Freedom on 9 December will be a celebration of artistic diversity and inclusion and there will be music to add to the occasion as well as refreshments available from the Phoenix Cafe.

Freedom will run through until late January.

Art with Heart and the Phoenix Gallery invites the broader community to join in this special event, recognising the transformative power of art and the limitless potential within everyone.
