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 the region.

This year over 1000 artists submitted entries with the finalist exhibition showcasing over 100 of the best entries in the main and ceramics award.

Gosford Art Prize 2023 is judged by artist Karen Black with support for Gosford Regional Gallery curator Jasmine Kean with the First prize valued at $15,000.

Opening Event: Opening night and award announcement on Friday 8 September, 6pm.
