Gosford Regional Gallery will launch the region’s first Moving Image Gallery on Friday, June 27.
The exciting, multi-media space for immersive art is the latest evolution of the gallery, which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year.
The first installation will be Wander and Dwell by John Power.
The Moving Image Gallery aims to showcase modern immersive art and also attract new audiences.
Central Coast Council has invested $300,004 to launch the initiative, supporting innovative artists and new ways to experience art.
Council is committed to providing spaces and places that support local and national artists to create, exhibit and connect with audience across different mediums.
Created in response to evolving art practices and community voices, the new gallery space reflects today’s creative landscape and tomorrow’s artistic possibilities.
While the gallery has supported contemporary practices and moving image works over the past 25 years, this is the first time it has provided a permanent dedicated gallery space for this medium.
Embracing the future of the gallery, the new Moving Image Gallery opens the doors for screen-based artists to enter the gallery’s annual Gosford Art Prize, which will this year offer a $25,000 major prize in honour of the gallery’s 25-year celebrations.
Gallery Director Tim Braham said it was a transformative time.
“We are not only celebrating our 25th anniversary, but also looking forward to what we are going to achieve over the next 25 years,” he said.
“This new gallery is transforming the way we look at art.
“We will be the only regional gallery with a set up like this and it is really exciting.
“Audiences, both locals and visitors, will see something special.”
