The NEB was conceived by visual artist John Reid as a contribution to an exhibition titled, Factor of Ten. A Future Worth Having, School of Art Gallery, Australian National University. The exhibition addressed the need for a ten-fold reduction in human energy and material consumption to achieve a sustainable use of the Earth's resources. The launch of the NEB coincided with the exhibition opening and the first NEB Branch traded daily in the School of Art Gallery from October 2 to November 3, 2002. In 2003, NEB branches have operated from the Dubbo Regional Gallery, the Cowra Art Gallery, the School of Art Foyer Gallery, from a temporary gallery space in Tumut, the Orange Regional Gallery and the Criterion Gallery, Braidwood.
