Calling for expressions of interest from Coffs Coast artists to exhibit in 2026

Artists and groups are invited to submit proposals for exhibitions within YAM’s Gallery 4. This exhibition space aims to support and promote the work of artists from the Coffs Coast region through an active and diverse exhibition program.

The Coffs Coast region encompasses the Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and Nambucca local government areas. This includes postcodes 2441, 2447, 2448, 2449, 2450, 2452, 2453, 2454, 2455, 2456. Artists may be currently living and/or working in these areas or may have previously done so.

Applications will be assessed in accordance with the exhibition policy by YAM’s Service Leader and Curators. Applications are also assessed in conjunction with YAM’s annual program.

Artists are invited to submit their expressions of interest via this online form.

Submissions close midnight Sunday 15 June 2025 with successful applicants notified by email by the end of June 2025.

Please refer to the Information for Exhibitors document as part of the application.

NOTE: this is an expression of interest only and does not guarantee selection for exhibition. Decisions are final, and no correspondence about selection decisions will be entered into.

If you have any questions or concerns about the application process, please contact YAM’s curatorial team via yam@chcc.nsw.gov.au and they will assist you where possible.

There will be a community information session about the application process and exhibiting at YAM in 2026 on Monday 7 April 2025.
