President of the society Graeme Krake said the organisation, which has a long history, was delighted to have Ms Culliton as judge for the 2023 show.

"The Bega Valley Art and Craft Society was established in 1946 and is one of the longest running art societies in NSW, Mrt Krake said.

"During the course of their history they established the first art gallery in the South East area and ran it on a volunteer basis until the appointment of the first director Ross Cameron in 1995.

"Over the years the group amassed a significant art collection which was eventually gifted to the Bega Regional Gallery in 2017. The collection contained work by well known local artists such as Shirley Hannan and Hilda Six-Nicholls," Mr Krake said.
