Anonymous exhibition attracts local artists

20x20 Art ExhibitionThe 20 x 20 art exhibition is on at the community gallery, Gosford Regional Gallery until February 13

Several Peninsula locals are taking part in a regional art exhibition to help raise funds for the Gosford Hospital Art Program.

The 20×20 Art Exhibition, which runs until February 13, is one of the first exhibitions to be shown at the Gosford Regional Gallery in 2022.

On display are over 300 artworks based on the theme ‘Near and Far’ and produced by 90 Central Coast artists.

All are 20cm by 20cm and only $80 each, with 25 per cent of every sale going to the local hospital.

Killcare resident Annie Reid said she was passionate about art and saw the exhibition as a great opportunity to raise funds for Gosford Hospital.

“Because it’s an anonymous exhibition, it enables a broad spectrum of art to be displayed … the art someone chooses to buy could have been made by a professional artist or by an amateur.

“It really speaks to the different ways in which art speaks to someone.

“The theme opens it up to all sorts of interpretation … my sons live in California, so I tend to go for a beachy feeling with my art.

“But there is a wonderfully diverse selection – from flowers, to animals, to Japanese people and houses …

“It’s definitely a worthwhile opportunity for local artists.

The 20×20 Art Exhibition is held in The Community Gallery which is located at the Gosford Regional Gallery and Edogawa Commemorative Garden, 36 Webb St, East Gosford.

The exhibition is open daily from 9:30am to 4pm.
