Sue’s prize was awarded at the opening of the current exhibition, Postcode 2450, at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery on Sunday 26 March. Postcode 2450 is on display until Wednesday 3 May. The gallery is open from 10am to 2pm, Monday to Saturday, with free entry. All artworks are for sale. ”Your chance to secure a unique, local, and original work of art,” Sue said. Want to know more?
