About
The Channon Gallery specialises in quality, fine art created by Northern Rivers artists and sources works from mid and late career artists from elsewhere in Australia. Located in the picturesque village of The Channon in the Byron Bay hinterland of northern NSW, the gallery is committed to the exhibition of fine Australian contemporary art. We don't mind provoking a little, but one of the main aims is to delight and surprise as well. Collectors and casual onlookers are very welcome.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Channon is a small country village north of Lismore, NSW. It's main attraction is Protestors Falls but it has a couple of places to grab a bite to eat and it also has - as per just about every village in this area - a periodically held markets.
The other main thing to do in town (and while you are here you might as well) is The Channon Gallery. There are a number of rooms here mainly showcasing local artists. Of course when it comes to taste in art it is very much each to his own, but there are so many varieties of work here there is a good chance you'll see something you fancy. Though little here is cheap. After all the locals have to fund their 'off the grid' lifestyle somehow and siphoning outsiders is a good way of doing it.
All up it would be a shame to pass through this village without spending at least ten minutes checking the place out.

The Channon Gallery has a wonderful range of works showcasing local artists. The clientelle is moire than passing traffic with interest from interstate and international customers. The owners have a passion for what they do and the local area. It was great to visit.

Thank you, Relle, for taking the time to post a review.
We really appreciate your favourable comments too!
It's always a 'moving feast' here regarding the Art that we exhibit, particularly our featured exhibitions at the front of the gallery. It's not always to everybody's liking, but then, that's just Art - well the contemporary kind.
Hope you make your way to these parts again and manage another stop at our humble gallery! No doubt, there will be something different to see.
Thanks again!

The Channon Gallery is not to be missed, if you are serious about art and visiting the Northern Rivers. It's a lovely space that's been curated with thought and care. Each new exhibition is a delight. I'd also recommend joining their mailing list as the owners always have interesting things to stay.

Hello Jeni
Thank you so much for your very generous review of our gallery.
We love contemporary art and hopefully that at least shows and is shared through the experience of coming here and viewing the work that we hold - mostly from local artists.
Some rich pickings around these parts for quality and interesting artists, plus curators and hard-core arts advocates. We're so lucky and welcome the chance to convey stories/anecdotes/provenance-chat of the same to our interested visitors.
Thanks again. You're welcome anytime!
Kind regards
David

We visited The Channon Gallery after the Craft Market a couple of weeks ago. The artworks available ranged from Indigenous to very contemporary including brushed metal pieces which were quite stunning. Loved the nude portraits too. When I win tats lotto I'll be back to clean out the gallery! Only joking, there is a good range of items on sale for a variety of prices including jewellery pieces.

Many thanks for your generous review. Feedback is always helpful, but it's lovely when someone goes to the trouble to write something positive for viewing in the public domain.
Hope you can visit again if you are up this way in the future.
Cheers
