Gosford Regional Gallery will feature three exhibitions in March, all focused on showcasing the work of up-and-coming artists.
Central Coast residents are invited to explore the work of finalists for Emerging, The Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize and A Central Vision 2020.
Council Team Leader, Art Galleries, Tim Braham, said the three exhibitions included diverse works using a range of mediums.
“Emerging is an exhibition of the incredible contemporary work of the four finalists vying for a prestigious $5,000 prize,” Braham said.
“The works of this year’s finalists span digital media, textiles, sculpture and conceptual art, and explore a host of challenging social and political issues.
“We are also hosting the works of the finalists for another prestigious prize, The Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize.
“If you love contemporary photography, don’t miss this opportunity to explore the work of the 30 finalists,” Braham continued.
“This year’s entrants for the sought after $50,000 photographic prize have explored the theme, living in Australia, the places, people and lifestyle that make our lovable country quintessentially Australian,” he said.
“Fostering local talent is important to us at the Gallery, and across this month, we’ll also be featuring A Central Vision 2020, a partnership with the Department of Education which showcases the best work from local public high school students,” Braham said.
A Central Vision 2020 will run at the Gallery until April 5.
Emerging 2020 and The Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize will both open on March 28 and run until May 10 with opening night events from 6pm on March 27.
