Exhibition staged for fourth year

An Art By The Sea exhibition will be staged at the Killcare Surf Club from Saturday, December 29, to Monday, January 7, for its fourth year.

"We are very excited about this particular event as everything points to a wonderful show," said organiser Ms Luisa Scutts.

Traditionally staged in the surf club's auditorium which adjoins The Point Cafe and overlooking Killcare beach, the exhibition includes works of both local and visiting artists.

This year's lineup includes Archibald Prize finalist Peter Smeeth, Dobell Prize artist Bronwyn Van de Graafe, finalists from the Gosford Regional Gallery and others prominent in the art world including John Biggart, Lisa Haymes, Elena Parashko, Terry Baker, Helena Brunner, Gregory Coates and Jean Scott.

Proceeds from the exhibition assist in providing funds for the surf club including lifesaving devices, gymnasium equipment and, in last year's case, a lifeboat.

An opening night cocktail party will be held at the surf club on the evening of Friday, December 28, from 7pm to 10pm which will see Greig Pickhaver (aka HG Nelson, of Roy and HG fame) as the guest speaker.
