A Canvas of Connection: Exploring the 2026 Program at Gosford Regional Gallery

by LukeAdmin

Central Coast Council is proud to unveil the 2026 Gosford Regional Gallery exhibition program, a vibrant year-long celebration of creativity that highlights both local talent and acclaimed artists from across Australia. 

The 2026 season also continues the gallery’s 25th anniversary celebrations with a renewed commitment to artistic excellence, community connection and meaningful cultural engagement. 

Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said the Gosford Regional Art Gallery’s 2026 program reflects the region’s strong creative spirit and the gallery’s role as a cultural hub for the community.

“The Gosford Regional Art Gallery continues to be a place where people come together to be inspired, to learn and to celebrate the incredible creative talent that exists within our community,” Mayor McKinna said.

“This year’s program not only honours 25 years of artistic excellence but also strengthens the connection between our residents, our stories and the cultural life of the Central Coast.”

Visitors can expect a dynamic calendar of exhibitions ranging from major retrospectives by highly regarded Australian artists to imaginative contemporary works shaped by student creativity and national touring exhibitions.

A key feature of the program is the gallery’s dedication to presenting influential and boundary‑pushing artists. The lineup includes significant works by celebrated portrait artist Sally Robinson and the bold, multidisciplinary duo The Huxley’s, whose contributions further elevate the gallery’s reputation as a leading arts destination.

Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith said local participation remains central to the gallery’s vision. 

“The program provides opportunities for community engagement through inspiring exhibitions, and artist-led creative activities that invite visitors to connect more deeply with the stories, themes and processes behind the artworks,” Ms Smith said.

“The innovative and community‑focused exhibition programs are designed to encourage participation and enrich the cultural life of the Coast.”
