A sell-out crowd of teachers, child support workers, artists and parents, gathered at Coffs Central on February 19 and left with the message to provoke more support for art education and exhibitions to benefit the region’s young people.

Presented by the Friends of Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, Why Children’s Art Matters featured an inspiring talk by Australia’s leading voice in children’s art, Dr Barbara Piscitelli AM.

Show your appreciation for children’s art by visiting the Young Archies – on view until March 6.
