CONVERGE is revitalising 123 Woodlark Street, once a vacant building, bringing new life to the area. Eleven talented local artists have been selected to participate, each bringing their unique artistic vision to our city.

Every week, new businesses are opening in the CBD and with CONVERGE, the area will be even more colourful and bustling.

Stay tuned for updates on their incredible projects and join us in celebrating the vibrant arts and culture scene of Lismore!
