Lismore Regional Gallery (LRG) recently faced a milestone in its recovery.
Twelve months since the Northern Rivers floods peaked two metres higher than any previous data (28 February 2022) – inundating the Gallery and leaving its Collection encrusted with mud – the anniversary was marked by the return of the first 170 restored artworks. They were unloaded into storage at HOTA, Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast, which will be the temporary custodian of Lismore’s Collection for the immediate future.
