Bendemeer locals have raised $50,000 through the Bendemeer Art Show committee and private donations to support the New England Sculpture Track (NEST).
Led by Jamie Hook and sculptor Stephen King, with support from the Tamworth Region Arts Advisory Committee (TRAAC), the sculpture trail will aim to boost NSW Visitor Economy and Tourism numbers in the region by creating a public art trail in Bendemeer and surrounds.
Featuring loan sculptures from nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, it’s hoped that NEST will establish a long-term cultural link between Bendemeer, Walcha and beyond.
