WAG TIME AGAIN….FOR THE 10TH YEAR!
The Wooli Artists Gathering (WAG) is again holding the Wild About Wooli Art Show.
WAG, which was formed in November 2010, is composed of people connected with Wooli who are artists, or have an interest in art. The beauty and unique location of Wooli and its surrounding area have attracted many artists and stimulated people to develop their artistic talents. However this growing collection of artists remained largely invisible.
Prompted by the Protect Wooli campaign, it was thought important to draw positive attention to the value of Wooli, by collecting and widely
promoting Wooli ‘s artist community. Those who attend meetings and express interest in the Gathering ‘s aims are members.
There is no membership charge or criteria, except for involvement or interest in artistic endeavours. The exhibition has been held every year since 2011.
The 2020 Wild About Wooli Art Show will present exhibits of regional artists including painting, drawing & print making, textile art, sculpture & ceramics, photography.
Our Picture Hanging Solutions are purchased from Shakespeare Solutions. Ian Rees has once again generously provided the venue for the show at the Wooli Hotel Motel.
Our thanks to Marc McIntyre and Steve Pickering from Coldstream Gallery, Ulmarra for judging the 2020 entries.
It opens with a cocktail party on Friday 10th of April 2020 at 6.30pm and continues on Saturday 11th, from 10.00am to 3.00pm and
Sunday 12th of April, 11.00am to 2.00pm.
All the details you’ll need for the show are here in the Invitation to Artists and in the Public Invitation.
Professionals and amateurs alike are welcome to exhibit – artists, photographers and those who like to experiment with other media. Children’s works will also be displayed, so get painting, kids.
A People‘s Choice prize will be awarded and there are prizes for various categories. Last year’s exhibition was another resounding success and many sales were made.
If you’d like to see your work up on the walls at the show, here is your Information Sheet and Attachment A – Artist’s Agreement, plus Attachment B – Entry Form.
If you have queries please call or text Marg Ward on 0411 421579.
Artist or not, come along, enjoy a drink and a nibble and admire the works of our talented coastal community. One may even end up on your wall.
To further tempt you, here are the award winning works from 2019

Next Steps to Protect Wooli
Wooli’s first beach scraping project is complete and so far looks like a resounding success. Not only was it finished within budget and on time, but it also added 40% more sand to the dunes than was expected. The low tide area of the beach recovered very quickly and no environmental or heritage damage was done. In addition, new sand-traps were installed and the first stage of replanting completed (see photo). The most at-risk part of the village, the southernmost 800 metres, is now well protected from the next 1-in-20-years storm.
But the question remains, “what about even bigger storms”?
Our most recent expert advice, the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) 2018, recommends the at-risk dunes be nourished with 60,000 cubic metres of sand to provide the best protection from a 1-in-50-years storm. The CZMP also recommends this sand be sourced from the Wilsons Headland end of the beach supplemented by further local beach scraping. Council is continuing to progress the CZMP through various state government departments, Native Title and its own budget process. However, we should expect that to secure the necessary funding ($2m) and licences to implement the Wilsons Headland Nourishment project will take years, not months, to achieve.
In the meantime, an interim solution could well be a second Beach Scraping Project.
This would add enough sand for the dune to withstand a 1-in-30-years storm and would get us 50% of the way to the target of 60,000 cubic metres described above.
Repeated scraping has several major advantages: it has a history of success (New Brighton has done 3 now), is relatively inexpensive compared to Nourishment, involves no major licensing issues and is rapidly achievable. It could be completed by mid-2020 if we start preparing now.
We suggest this approach:
1. CCPA to write to Council proposing a second beach scraping project to be completed in 2020 and funded as per the first project, ie. $50,000 from the State government and $25,000 each from CCPA and Council.
2. CCPA to commence raising $25,000 as soon possible, subject to positive feedback from Council and State.
