Not sure the last few days have been spent well by taking a self taught crash course in film making. Nevertheless, stay tuned for the release of a light hearted series of short films with artist, Frank Nowlan discussing a selection of his artworks from his current exhibition, Now and Then.
We’ve been busy with some minor renovations these past couple of days. Although we’re closed to the public we thought we’d make the best of the situation and construct a shopfront gallery that can be viewed next time you walk the dog for some exercise or make a grocery run in town. We plan to change the installation regularly and we encourage you all to visit our website and sign up for our mailing list. We are contactable so please email or phone any enquiries.
Our first hang is a selection of works from our current online exhibition “Now and Then” by Thirroul local artist legend, Frank Nowlan.

The 5th Annual Egg & Dart Xmas Show opened Friday 8th December,
With less than two weeks to go, we have a few works still available for purchase. We are open Wed through Saturday 11am to 6pm. The show will come down Saturday 23rd December.
Sixteen artists question the value we invest in places, spaces and objects from everyday life. Sentiment is a co-curated exhibition that explores notions of sentimentality that exists in the realms of imagination and personal experience. Artists were invited to shape and express their thoughts on the things that create emotional connection and disconnection. Using a variety of media, the works move between light and dark, fact and fiction, interest and disengagement.
For the fourth year in a row The Egg & Dart Xmas Show yet again drew a queue of anticipating visitors at opening night. With 30 artists and 200 works, the familiar theme of 12 x 12 cm artworks in all kinds of different media are dressing the walls from floor to ceiling. We are also super excited to have artist Rosie Deacon's Fun Foam Koalas added to the mix this year. Last day of the exhibition is 24th December.
The Egg and Dart Gallery finds inspiration and provocation in being a gallery outside of the large cities that, historically, have been perceived as the most important centres of art. The gallery is located in Thirroul, a village on the coast between Sydney and Wollongong. The area has a distinct history that inflects the practices of artists that work in the area, but has also, historically, looked to the north for sustenance. However, this model of dependence is being thoroughly challenged.
