Gunnedah Shire Council has put a call out to artists to start creating their portraits for the exhibition of artworks celebrating local people.
Both established and emerging artists can participate by painting a friend, family member, or someone in the public eye.
Council's cultural precinct team leader Jacinta Cipolla said it's exciting to bring the Gunnybalds back to Gunnedah.
"We are hoping our community really embraces this opportunity to create from the heart," she said.
"We want everyone who likes to paint or draw to go wild with their creativity and help pay tribute to our community."
