Just a short stroll from Main Beach, and conveniently located near Jarjumirr Skate Park and alongside the Byron Library, the gallery celebrates the creativity, individuality, and vibrant spirit of the Northern Rivers arts community, showcasing both emerging and established artists from the region and beyond.
Named after the last lone goat of Cape Byron Headland, the gallery embodies the curiosity, uniqueness, and the creative energy of the Northern Rivers.
