SUMMARY:Strength in Unity – LGBTQIA+ Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Coastal Twist LGBTQIA+ Arts & Culture Festival proudly unveils “Strength in Unity” – our major new group exhibition for 2025.\nCelebrating our 5th annual LGBTQIA+ Art Exhibition\, this year’s showcase aligns with the 2025 Festival theme and brings together a powerful curation of works by professional\, mid-career\, and emerging artists from across the Central Coast. Expect a vibrant mix of ceramics\, painting\, photography\, multimedia\, and sculpture—each piece offering a unique\, locally-rooted LGBTIQ perspective with a signature Coastal Twist. \nThe exhibition will take place in the newly launched FunHaus Factory’s Basement Gallery\, a dedicated space designed to amplify bold\, diverse voices and deepen creative engagement in the heart of Gosford. \nThe exhibition also proudly includes works by young creatives aged 12–17\, as well as an all-ages category\, continuing our commitment to intergenerational artistic expression. \n“Strength in Unity” explores themes of identity\, resilience\, transformation\, and community.\nSome artists challenge the status quo through political statements. Others reflect on personal struggles and journeys to empowerment. Still others share intimate moments of change and self-discovery. Together\, these works form a rich\, honest tapestry of coastie lives and queer creativity. \nThis year\, we’re honoured to welcome celebrated artist Sandro Nocentini as guest curator. A Sulman Prize winner and internationally exhibited painter and sculptor\, Sandro brings over 30 years of experience and a deep passion for nurturing diverse artistic voices—from grassroots collectives to commercial galleries. \n“I am thrilled to be involved with the Coastal Twist Festival. It famously supports community expression and unity through art. I’m excited to help showcase the incredible talent that thrives in our region.” — Sandro Nocentini \nExhibition open during Venue Hours: Wed – Sundays: Please see venue website for details
