You're simply the best

Armistead's Gallery in Lismore is proud to present the Best of the Coraki Tea Tree Art Prize at their gallery in Wyrallah Road. The exhibition features a cross-section of artworks from winners, second place getters and those who received highly commended awards, illustrating the depth of artistic talent in the local area.

"We're very happy to be involved with the Coraki Tea Tree Art Prize yet again and due to the success of last year's show wanted to do another exhibition," said Armistead's gallery owner, Rhonda Baker. "It's a good chance for people who couldn't make it to Coraki to see the pick of the bunch. We're really impressed with the standard again this year."

The Best of the Coraki Tea Tree Art Prize is on show until November 24.
