The popular EMERGING exhibition, running between 3 February and 26 March at the Gosford Regional Art Gallery, will reveal the work of successful applicants in the biennial art prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Unit Manager Community and Culture, Glenn Cannard said the exhibition and event have been brought together in a program that promotes the Gallery state-wide while supporting emerging artists to deliver works of a professional standard, and opportunities for the local community to participate in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis art prize is an important action of the Central Coast Cultural Plan and supports the development of innovative and contemporary work across all art-forms,\u201d Mr Cannard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Submissions were invited from early career artists, aged between 18-30 years, in NSW working in a diverse array of visual arts with selected works gaining the experience of exhibiting a new or existing body of work at Gosford Regional Gallery, supporting a wide range of installation-based practices and non-traditional mediums for presentation to a regional gallery audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExpect to be impressed by a variety of high-quality works that were selected to exhibit from Sydney and the Hunter region, including Remy Faint, Alexandra Jonscher, Lihnida Krstanska-Blazeska, NC Qin, Monica Rani Rudhar and James Rhodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA $5,000 prize will be awarded on 3 February opening night of the exhibition at 6.30pm by Artspace Sydney Curator, Tahlia Linz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local artists are also invited to attend a professional networking and development event at the Gallery on 23 February at 6pm, starting with 107 Projects leading a toolbox talk, followed by DJ Ballast in the Edogawa Japanese Gardens, and the opportunity to get a free head shot by a portrait photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart said the continued support for the prize and quality of submissions since 2003 highlights the program\u2019s importance in NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe quality of submissions demonstrates our region is a lively and welcoming place to participate in arts and culture, and an established centre for the emerging and professional creative sector,\u201d Mr Hart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Gosford Regional Gallery has flow on effects for the local economy and a focus on public programs offers new opportunities to engage with art and culture on the Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
