Popular art exhibition returns

The popular 20×20 Art Exhibition returns to Gosford Regional Gallery from Thursday, June 12, to Sunday, June 30.

There will be 400 artworks on show, based on this year’s theme Home and Away, produced by 140 Central Coast residents.

All the works measure 20cm x 20cm and are priced at $100 each, with 25% of every sale helping support Arts in Health initiatives at the gallery.

This is a great opportunity for Central Coast residents to be involved and give art a go for a good cause.

Local artist Cathryn McEwen created and co-ordinated the exhibition in partnership with the Regional Gallery for the past seven years.

“(This is ) always a fun display; it’s difficult to tell the seasoned creators from the novices, especially as the artist’s name remains anonymous until a work is sold,” she said.

“It’s a worthwhile opportunity for Central Coast residents of all ages and abilities to produce some amazing artworks as it provides an additional incentive for participants with a $250 People’s Choice award.

“With tax deduction incentives at this time of year and art available at such an affordable price, it’s very tempting to make a purchase of one or more of these original pieces that in turn helps to support a worthwhile cause.”

The exhibition will be open from 9.30am-4pm daily in the Community Gallery at Gosford Regional Gallery, 36 Webb St, East Gosford.
