ART by the Sea has become a much-loved Easter event on the Northern Beaches calendar.
The popularity and strength of the Woolgoolga Art Gallery was on display on Saturday 19 April, when local artists and craftspeople set-up stalls to display their skills and wares.
The weather on this chosen Saturday and the splendour of the Woolgoolga Beach Reserve brought to life the postcard perfection of the award-winning foreshore, with the spectacle of a raging sea icing the cake.
Lynne Dent told News Of The Area, “I had a group of about five children who came on their own into my stall area and, after some conversation… were fantasising about what art works they would buy if they had any money.”
The day provided fun for the many children who were thriving on the opportunities to get involved, revelling in the heightened level of inspiration flooding the senses.
The cake stalls, crafts demonstrations, food outlets and artist displays were buzzing with activity.
Each year, the community rallies to the event while visitors purchase a piece of the culture of the Mid North Coast.
Moira Scerri told News Of The Area, “The demonstrations were enjoyed and well attended; the queues at the cake stall and other food outlets were consistent and I think most attendees walked away with something.
“The stallholders I spoke to all said it was very worthwhile attending.
“There were plenty of purchases made and the opportunity for makers to interact with passersby provided a wonderful opportunity to get their reaction and feedback.”
