New art gallery at Koolewong

A new art gallery has officially opened in Koolewong.

Casa del Sol Art Centre is currently exhibiting exhibits more than 25 local, interstate and international artists.

The gallery also features ceramics by Gosford Art Prize winning ceramicist Ms Keiko Matsui of Umina, and pearl jewellery by Woy Woy artisan Ms Celeste Boonaerts and sculptures by Ms Rachel Bunney.

The gallery claims to be one of the most visually appealing art spaces north of Sydney and supports a high percentage of local Central Coast artists, according to curator Ms Patricia O'Hara.

The gallery is open six days a week from Tuesday to Sunday and is located on the top floor above the Boathouse Restaurant at Koolewong Marina.

Ms O'Hara said she was excited at the obvious strength of the local art scene.

"The Central Coast has a lot of hidden talent and I hope we can expose this talent to art lovers in the area and beyond," she said.
