All Stars exhibition at Theia Studios

A new exhibition, All Stars, opens at Theia Studios on Friday, September 12.

The landmark exhibition bringing together 10 extraordinary artists who have exhibited with the Woy Woy gallery in its inaugural year.

Running until October 10, it offers visitors an inspiring mix of mediums, voices, and visions.

Eight of the 10 exhibiting artists are based on the Central Coast – including Emma O’Connell (Hamlyn Terrace), Celia Jay (McMasters Beach), Len Hurley (Buff Point), Tessa Hudson (Wamberal), Michelle Te Puia (Woy Woy), Gordon Cumming (Woy Woy), Jessica Davina (Umina), and Anna Seymour (Springfield).

They are joined by Sydney artists Audrey Briel and Rachel Xui.

From bold abstracts to intimate reflections, All Stars invites audiences to rediscover the spirit of creativity that has defined Theia Studios since opening its doors in 2024.

“When we opened Theia a year ago, our dream was to create a space where art and community meet,” co-founder Lauren McDonnell said.

“All Stars celebrates the incredible artists who’ve shaped our first year, and the connections that make Theia feel so alive.”

An opening celebration will be held on Friday, September 12 from 6pm–8pm.

On Friday, October 10, Theia will host a special retreat-style open day to celebrate its first birthday.

Throughout the day, Theia’s practitioners and workshop facilitators will offer small workshops, talks, and interactive experiences, giving the public a chance to explore the diverse creative and therapeutic practices that have become the studio’s heartbeat.

“In our ever-changing kaleidoscope of art and creativity, one thing has remained constant – the incredible practitioners and workshop facilitators who bring so much magic to the Peninsula,” McDonnell said.

The open day, from 11am-5pm, will flow into the closing celebration of All Stars in the evening, with wine, conversation, and a final chance to experience the exhibition in full until 7pm.
