Caldera Regional Arts
Border Ranges
Overview
Caldera Art is an incorporated association of member artists promoting community awareness of the region’s biodiversity values through a series of touring art exhibitions and related programs. The scope of subject matter for artists includes the flora, fauna, habitat, or landforms of the region as defined by the extent of the original lava flows of the Mt.Warning/Wollumbin shield volcano.
The events are supported by the Local Government Area’s of Tweed, Scenic Rim, Gold Coast, Kyogle, Lismore, Byron and Ballina, as well as the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, Industry & Investment NSW, and various commercial organisations.

Further develop Caldera Art’s existing environmental education program capacity by:
- Maintaining high standards in product development, presentation and relevance and effectively integrating science into artistic expression and communication.
- Consolidating partnerships with councils, state agencies, education institutions, businesses and communities within the region.
