Gosford Regional Gallery will feature three exciting exhibitions from March, all focused on showcasing the work of up-and-coming artists.

Explore the work of finalists for EMERGING, The Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize and A Central Vision 2020.

Council Team Leader Art Galleries, Tim Braham said community members and visitors are invited to explore diverse works using a range of mediums.

“EMERGING is an exhibition of the incredible contemporary work of the four finalists vying for this prestigious $5,000 prize,” Mr Braham said.

“The works of this year’s finalists for EMERGING span digital media, textiles, sculpture and conceptual art and explore a host of challenging social and political issues.

“We are also hosting the works of the finalists for another prestigious prize – The Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize – if you love contemporary photography, don’t miss this opportunity to explore the work of the 30 finalists.

“This year entrants for the sought after $50,000 photographic prize have explored the experience living in Australia – the places, people and lifestyle that make our lovable country quintessentially Australian. The 2019 Moran Contemporary Photographic Portrait Prize is a Moran Arts Foundation touring exhibition.

“Fostering local talent is important to us at the Gallery and across this month we’ll also be featuring ‘A Central Vision 2020’, a partnership with the Department of Education which showcases the best work from local public high school students.”

Mayor Lisa Matthews said the Gosford Regional Gallery offered an array of exciting exhibitions each year.

“We are lucky to be home to an incredible regional gallery and I encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the beautiful and thought-provoking exhibitions on offer.”
