Gunnedah Shire will be paying tribute to International Women's Day in March with an exhibition celebrating the diverse talent of artists in our community.
Artists have been asked to create something special to for the exhibition, which has proven to be a popular and diverse exhibition in past years.
Gunnedah Shire Council Mayor Colleen Fuller said Gunnedah Shire was home to women from a huge range of backgrounds and cultures, with a great diversity of interests.
"The theme for International Women's Day in 2025 is #AccelerateAction," Cr Fuller said.
"Our community includes women who excel in all areas of life and who deserve to be recognised for all that they do. This exhibition is a way to celebrate the intrinsic role women play in our Shire, and everything they mean to each one of us.
"It will include a variety of mediums and has always proven to be a very colourful and interesting exhibition."
In conjunction with the exhibition, a Self Love Workshop will be held at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery on Sunday, 16 March from 1pm to 3pm with afternoon tea provided. Local artist Jade Punch will facilitate the gathering where participants will create a self portrait. Tickets are $20 and are limited to 14.
