The Williams River Valley Artists’ Project was formed in dismay at the proposal to flood the Williams River valley, Dungog, for the construction of the Tillegra Dam. WRV Artists’ Project is a collective of artists developing work through a series of on-site residencies in the Williams Valley. They aim to add to a movement to protect the Williams River, and to preserve the locality’s unique heritage, community and productive agricultural land. The project is an initiative of its curator Juliet Fowler Smith.
