Artists exhibit at Wagstaffe hall

Artists of the Five Lands Artists Collective exhibited in Art@Wagstaffe at the Wagstaffe Hall over the October long weekend.

Visitors viewed works by Janet Hoyer Cobb, Gosford Art Prize winner Bronwyn van de Graaff, Willemina Villari, Andy Collis and other professional local artists.

The public were further treated to an opening reception on Saturday afternoon with guest speaker Jocelyn Maughan, owner of the Patonga Bakehouse Gallery.

Mary Ellen Wallace provided music on the hall's piano.

A raffle of artworks donated by the 16 artists involved was drawn on the Sunday afternoon while the crowd was entertained by the music of 17-piece jazz ensemble Big Band Obsession on the waterfront.

"The good news is you can see the work and meet many of these artists on the next Five Lands open studios art trail on November 4 and 5 from 11am to 5pm," said publicity officer Ms Cathryn McEwen.

"This group of Central Coast artists have been opening their home studios to the public three times a year since 2012 and exhibit regularly."
