Next Gen art exhibition at Ourimbah campus

Young emerging Central Coast artists are in the spotlight at the University of Newcastle’s inaugural Coast Next Gen Art Exhibition, open from February 13-April 21.

Supported by Central Coast Council, the exhibition includes paintings, photography, sculpture and digital design by 22 HSC graduates selected from seven schools across the Central Coast.

University Deputy ViceChancellor (Academic) and Vice-President, Professor Mark Hoffman, said events such as this were important not only for the individuals participating, but also for arts and the community.

“The inaugural Coast Next Gen Art Exhibition is an invaluable opportunity for the community to come together to lift up their young people, and art in the region,” Hoffman said.

“We are proud to deliver the first event of this kind on the Central Coast, and we encourage members of the public to come along and be inspired by the next generation of local artists.”
