Art Exhibition

The evening will be set against the backdrop of local artist Jan Rae's exhibition, featuring her vibrant Byron Café Society paintings and the Byron Hinterland series – a colourful celebration of our café culture, landscapes and community spirit.

Jan Rae was one of the three artists behind the original Byron Community Centre mural in 1984, and her work continues to inspire today.
