The Gosford Art Prize 2024

The Gosford Art Prize is a significant facet of the Gosford Regional Gallery’s annual exhibition program. The prize was initially organised by the community in the early 1970s.

When the Gosford Regional Gallery opened in 2000, it became the new permanent home of the Gosford Art Prize. Both the main prize and the Ceramics Prize have grown in popularity and strength over the past 23 years, celebrating the diversity of practices from artists both on the Central Coast and from beyond our region.

Finalists are exhibited in all galleries, with the main prize being awarded at $15,000.

Prizes across the different sections include Aboriginal Artist Award, Highly Commended, Ceramics Prize, Highly Commended Ceramics and People’s Choice Award.

Reshape Remake Recreate

This exhibition is a collaboration between The Makers Studio Central Coast and Newcastle Printmakers Workshop who are two printmaking studios with 24 participating printmakers. Each artist has taken up the challenge of reshaping and remaking the prints received by two other artists. Only one print from each artist remains in its original state. Their recreations are imaginative, experimental, proving the extraordinary creativity of printmakers.
