Creative Mullumbimby
Creative Mullumbimby is a cultural development organisation run by the community. Its main aim is to support local creatives through everyday activities. They hold an annual ‘Ingenuity’ event that is dedicated to small sculptures.
The group also initiated the installation of the sculpture walk along the banks of the Brunswick River. Currently, there are five permanent sculptures on display with more being planned in the future.
