How an artist cooperative is supporting local winemakers and breweries

A group of 16 Bowral artists have found a way to collectively support local winemakers and breweries through its busy, town centre cooperative. The shop and gallery, named Ten Thousand Paces has thrown out convention to champion regional identity. About 13 months ago, Director and curator Hamish Ta-mé put in for a packaged liquor licence, based on the condition that they would only sell alcohol made by producers within the immediate area, from the south coast of NSW and down to Canberra.
