Black Fig Gallery is a new art space in the heart of Alstonville, presenting seasonal collections from emerging and established artists. This year marks the launch of the Plateau Prize, our commitment to celebrating artists across the region with fresh energy and serious intent. We are the new player on the block, but we are here to make a mark, bringing both inclusivity and ambition to the arts community. Our vision is to grow this prize into a fixture of the Northern Rivers cultural calendar, sitting proudly alongside the long-standing awards we admire, while offering something distinctly our own.
