Come in and find a wonderful memento of your visit to Port Stephens.
The centre's magical fairy garden is currently open and looking superb - a delight to visitors of all ages.
The current featured potter is Pamela Riddell and feature artist Roslyn Clarke.
Roslyn loved playing with pencils and paper most of her youth and in high school took art as a subject for her school certificate.
After marriage, with three children and being a full-time working mother, art slipped into the background.
Roslyn and her husband purchased a property in 1990 and she was inspired by the countryside and picked up the paint brushes once again.
They moved back to Port Stephens in early 2005 and she promptly enrolled at the Tomaree Community Centre completing two terms with Elaine Jamieson and then two years with modern impressionist Margaret Watson.
Roslyn became a member of Port Stephens Community Art Centre in 2007 and later joined the Society of Artists Newcastle.
Over time she has attended many workshops with many artists and mediums.
Roslyn enjoys painting at the arts centre.
From January 26, exhibitions in the gallery will change to Australiana and mosaics.
Find the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre in Cultural Close, Nelson Bay.
The centre is open from 10am until 4pm except on Sundays when it is open 10am to 1pm.
Entry is free.
