NOW IN MOGO!

EXCITING NEWS – ARTISANS NEST is now open in MOGO NSW! Our first day of trading in Mogo is Saturday 1st March 2025 in the Clocktower Arcade, opening at 10am and closing at 3pm.

Artisans Nest is a cooperative of very talented and highly creative artists from the Eurobodalla. Each of our artists have been working very hard to present our totally original and unique creations in this beautiful large, light filled and vibrant space. All of our works are for sale.

Our opening days are Wednesday through to Sunday each week.

New Look Gallery

Our lovely shop has had a rather drastic revamp in the last months, to make our unique and beautiful works of art easier to see and admire.

Front Room

We have so much more jewellery, one off felted articles and original upcycled clothing now we needed to make room for it.

Middle room

Side room

We have added new display racks and units to better display our diverse ranges. We hope our loyal and new customers approve, we love it, we’re hoping so will you.

Autumn is upon us

A glorious autumn is happening now, after torrential floods and some freezing and snowing weather already and its only half way through April! We are having to be more resilient with the results on our world from climate change, Covid 19 and all the other challenges.

But here at the Nest our creators are keeping sane (we hope) by continuing to create their works of art and inventive gems.

We purchased new furniture to modernise our ‘look’. Our Gallery is much improved by it in appearance and usability.

New to the Nest we have Julie Armstrong who is otherwise known as Global Village Emporium who creates wide range of works, cards, paintings, earrings and other jewellery, embellished clothing, etc etc, too many items to list.

We also have Carolyn Kohler whose main passion is felting and who produces exquisite shawls, scarves and other items.

We will keep you posted about other contributors but do yourself a favour and drop by to see all our stock. You wont be disappointed!

Results!

The Nest’s fundraising campaign result was $3055.92 – made up by the figures below:

Gofundme: $1490.00 less $39.09 fees = $1450.92

Direct deposits: $1450.00

Money raised in Nest: $ 155.00

Thank you all for your fundraising especially Adrianne Waterman our tenacious treasurer , and Susan Jameson our super secretary.

Also how successful it has been to open up our Nest again with some very big sale days. Thank you to our loyal customers and our new customers.

The Nest was closed from 24 March through until 29 May when we reopened with limited hours only to close again 21 July in line with government regulations, reopening on August 6.

Artisans Nest Gallery in Bodalla will be open 5 days per week, closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays temporarily, with reduced hours of 10am-3pm.

Opening is dependent on member availability to open the Gallery as Artisans Nest is run by the artists themselves.

So again thank you to all our supporters- members who have rostered on for our reopening in late May and since, researched and applied for grants, run appeals, kept people informed through Facebook and our website, and donated funds and goods.

Long may we be successful, healthy and safe.

Pay the rent

Due to the Covid 19 virus restrictions Artisans Nest Gallery closed its doors in late March.

Artisans Nest is a not for profit incorporated group of artists in Bodalla on the south coast of NSW.  We have carefully managed our finances since opening in but this is breaking us. Artisans Nest needs financial help to see us through.

If you can help us with a donation of any amount it would be much appreciated.

Funds are needed by the end of July for us to survive.

None of the assistance packages have been available to us and we have had no source of income for two months. Our funds will soon be down to $0 as we continue to pay electricity, insurance and a slightly reduced rent offered by our landlord.
