A fresh new photography exhibition dubbed Sliding Sunsets by three established local photographers was opened last Friday evening at Umina’s new gallery space on West Street.
The gallery, The Public Gallery, is owned and run by ceramicists Jennifer and Guy Jamieson.
“There’s been a real gap in the local market for good exhibition space and when the space came up for lease next door to our ceramics workshop we took the leap,” Jennifer Jamieson said.
“This wonderful exhibition by these three remarkable local photographers is the perfect opportunity for locals to see our little exhibition space we opened in June this year.”
The opening was attended by a broad section of the local art appreciation community on the Central Coast including international fashion designer Weave Debben-Nic, Naughty Noodles Glitta Supernova and Coast Magazine’s Catharine Retter among others.
The exhibiting photo artists Lisa Haymes, Syl Marie and Ben Hunt were thrilled with the roll-up of gallery goers and most pleased that half a dozen works sold on the evening.
Attendees were entertained on the evening by accomplished young local musician Woody McClean.
The three photographers’ exhibition are on show for the month of August. Their individual Instagram handles are @lisahaymesphotography – @usbenthem – @sylmariephotography
The gallery is located at 250 West Street, Umina. Gallery hours are Thurs-Sat 10am-5pm, Sunday 11am-3pm.
