Feast your eyes on more than 230 artworks submitted to the City of Gosnells Community Art Exhibition and Awards, with the annual exhibition just around the corner.


Entries for the awards have now closed and winners will be announced on Friday 19 May, with the exhibition open to the public from Saturday 20 May to Sunday 28 May at the Lyal Richardson Hall in Gosnells.


Mayor Terresa Lynes said the popular annual exhibition and awards, sponsored by Centuria, celebrated the depth and breadth of the local art community.


“Each year, the City of Gosnells Community Art Exhibition and Awards features a range of artworks that are as diverse and interesting as our community,” she said.


“It is always a fascinating insight into who we are in the City, what we are interested in and what we value.


“The exhibition also presents an unmissable opportunity to view, and possibly purchase, a large selection of work by local artists and those from further afield.”


In addition to the $5,000 acquisitive prize for the overall award winner, there are 10 categories, with a $500 prize offered for each:
• Acrylic
• Pastel, Pencil, Pen and Watercolour
• Oil
• Photography and Digital Media

• Youth Award (12 – 17 years)
• The City in Focus Award
• Local Artist Award

• Centuria People’s Choice Award


Visitors to the exhibition will vote for their favourite artwork and the piece that gains the most votes will receive the Centuria People’s Choice Award.
