Ballina's Grace Cruice Memorial Exhibition is returning, according to Ballina News Daily, featuring established artists including Kim Michelle Toft alongside emerging and community creatives. The exhibition celebrates the artistic roots of the region and showcases work from both experienced practitioners and those developing their craft.
In a separate development, Ballina Shire Council has won a Land and Environment Court challenge that blocks a proposed $25 million, 145-site tourist park development planned for Alstonville. Ballina News Daily reports that the court ruling puts an end to the project that had been under consideration for the area.
