The Bellinger Valley has long held an attraction for artists. Back in the “hippy” days of the 70’s, painters, craftsmen and musicians moved here to embrace the alternative lifestyle and gain inspiration from the beautiful surroundings.
Scores of locals still enjoy a multitude of creative pursuits showing their arts and crafts in a range of quality shops and galleries, and a number are well known and exhibit widely. The high level of musical interest and ability of many residents has fostered an incredible range of festivals and musical events in the region, showcasing an impressive range of local, Australian and international acts.
