Araluen Arts Centre — Attraction in Araluen

It's such a fabulous venue. I was lucky enough to watch the Soweto Gospel Choir as part of the 2023 Desert Song Festival. The Theatre has an intimate feel to it. Every seat is a great seat !!! Very comfy, too. The Gallery attatched has some wonderful exhibitions, I was there for the " Desert Mob " Art exhibition ♡ AMAZING !!! The litte Gallery shop has a fabulous range of art, books, gift cards , jewellery and so much more. Many of the things on sale are made by local First Nation Artists.

There was so much to do and see, i visited twice, making sure to have a lovely meal at the caffee next door . Oh...and the ticket prices for any show are so much more affordable than they are in any mayor city. I can't wait...
