Galleries In The Gardens

Galleries In The Gardens Galleries In The Gardens, Inc. is a dynamic, non-profit art hub anchored at ‘The Gallery’ on Tea Gardens’ waterfront. Visit and feel the energy! :)

Our vibrant membership spans gifted artists from Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and the Myall Coast region. The renowned Galleries in the Gardens not-for-profit art group, fondly known as ‘GIG’, is located in the picturesque ocean/river/bayside/village/semi-rural community of Tea Gardens on the Mid-North Coast of NSW. Its talented membership comprises skilled artists drawn from the region encompassing Ka

ruah in the South, Bulahdelah in the North and East of the A1. You’ll see their creativity displayed at GIG’s home - The Gallery - a delightful, rejuvenated landmark cottage set within a lush garden, opposite the waterfront at 81 Marine Drive, Tea Gardens NSW. Here GIG presents major exhibitions and regular introductions of new works – including paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography, woodwork, jewellery & more. GIG has attracted two official acknowledgements in NSW Parliament for its outstanding community activity. Examples being the Galleries in the Gardens Student Art Award, the Anderson Art Award and Artspeak (regular gatherings designed to foster friendships between ‘like minds’, sharing knowledge and learning while working on your own art). Entirely run by volunteers, GIG and The Gallery has earnt its place as the area’s pre-eminent art group and location for a wide variety of quality artworks. Entry to The Gallery is free and the venue is wheelchair accessible. It is conveniently located amongst the waterside café strip and diagonally opposite the ferry wharf.

🎨✨ Our ArtStudio is getting a serious glow-up! ✨🎨
The walls are being been freshly painted by our talented artists with vibrant scenes of local bush flora—think bold colours, leafy textures, and all the feel-good energy you want when you step inside to create. 🌿🖌️

From ladders to final brushstrokes, it’s been such a fun transformation—and we can’t wait for you to come see it in person!

Drop by, say hi, and let’s create together. 💛📚

Happy International Day of Friendship! 💛🤝

At Galleries in the Gardens, we believe friendship is more than just a word—it’s the feeling of showing up for each other, sharing stories, and making memories. We are a group of local artists having creativity in common, sharing artistic pursuits and practice together. Friends since 2009!!

Tag your favourite person (or your whole crew) and let them know you’re grateful for them today! 🎨✨
https://www.un.org/en/observances/friendship-day
The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.
