Avoca’s Gallery 127 has opened its doors to the public once again. As well as their general exhibition, the gallery will feature the works of Alison Aplin and Christopher Orr throughout March and April.

Avoca Community Arts and Gardens committee member Marg Pilgrim said that, in spite of setbacks last year, the gallery has ‘great plans’ for the future.

“Of course, last year was difficult, but it did make us ‘think outside the square’,” Marg said.

“We have focused on building on the great work that has happened over the years, and are in the process of developing an online virtual gallery.

“Once this is up and running, it means our artists will have their work displayed 24/7 throughout the world.”

While increasing the gallery’s online presence has been welcomed, Marg said they are thrilled to be able to welcome visitors back ‘in real life’.

“The Avoca Railway Station has become the ideal space to display artwork and hold community events, such as music nights. As a community-run venue, we were really successful at supporting artists and creative events.

“We are looking forward to continuing and expanding this year, as we welcome people back through the door – and online.”
