As a community gallery, distinct from a regional or commercial artistic institution, the NRCG is driven by the principles of access, equity and participation for local artists and local audiences, while striving for the highest standards of programming. The Northern Rivers region is acknowledged for the strength and diversity of its creative industry sector, particularly in relation to the visual
arts. The NRCG serves as an essential vehicle through which this burgeoning artistic sector can be supported and nurtured. The NRCG provides a facility for a diverse range of programs of local and touring exhibitions, education programs and cultural events; showcasing unique, high quality works made by regional artists, craftspeople and designers. Adjacent to the Gallery, and part of the historic Chambers building, is the popular Ballina Gallery Cafe which provides quality hospitality services including catering for functions and events. The purpose of this site is to:
• Provide information of current and upcoming NRCG exhibitions and other gallery programs to members of the community.
• Extend the reach of publicly available NRCG information.
• Build a reliable identity by adhering to the social media engagement principles of transparency, responsibility and respect. Creating social networking places for community building and interaction, to facilitate and support discussion around NRCG and other arts activities and resources.
