If you're walking past the gallery this weekend, make sure you stop and take a closer look at SCATTER by DONNA MARCUS.

Donna Marcus is best known for her sculptural work made of vast collections of discarded aluminium kitchenware: teapots, lids, jelly moulds, steamers, colanders and egg poachers. Their original use in post-war kitchens is recalled and extended by the process of assemblage as they are combined into the repetitive forms of modernist grids and spheres. The materials themselves generate another layer of reference and further extend the modernist impulse to regularity, repetition and dream. Scatter features three enlarged seed pod forms that reference growth, multiplication, and expansion. Familiar kitchen objects are recast and transformed into a complex sculptural arrangement where repetition and accumulation suggest a sense of potential. The work evokes the generative processes of nature and the ways in which simple forms can evolve into intricate and interconnected structures.

Scatter is part of the Central Coast Council Art Collection and is on permanent display under the trees in the Gallery forecourt.

Central Coast Council is pleased to announce Madison Biega as the recipient of the Emerging Curator Program 2026. Congratulations, Madi !

Having grown up in Kariong on the Central Coast, Madison reflects the calibre of emerging talent within our region, and we are pleased to support her ongoing professional development.

The Central Coast Emerging Curator Program 2026 attracted a strong field of submissions from across New South Wales, showcasing the depth of emerging curatorial talent throughout the state.

Madison Biega’s proposal stood out for its innovative approach and its strong commitment to collaboration. Her compelling vision demonstrated both curatorial insight and a thoughtful engagement with contemporary exhibition practice.

Don't miss JamFactory ICON Aunty Ellen Trevorrow - Weaving Through Time
Aunty Ellen Trevorrow is a proud Ngarrindjeri woman and a prolific, internationally acclaimed weaver with over 40 years of weaving experience. Weaving through Time is a celebration of Aunty Ellen’s
unwavering dedication to culture, community and innovation in contemporary Ngarrindjeri weaving.
Curated by Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna, Narrunga woman Carly Tarkari Dodd, Weaving Through Time showcases predominantly new works by Aunty Ellen, produced with her long-time collaborator, Dr Jelina Haines. The exhibition visually and textually documents Aunty Ellen’s evolution as an artist, from her early traditional baskets and fish traps to her recent large-scale sculptures and wearable works, including dresses, jewellery and textiles. These more recent works highlight her two-decades-long collaboration with Dr Haines and demonstrate the depth and breadth of her artistic practice. In Weaving Through Time, Aunty Ellen carries tens of thousands of years of knowledge, passed down from her Elders. Her work continues an essential legacy: the transmission of culture to future generations, ensuring the continuation of culture.

On exhibition until September 6

Take a stroll through the Edogawa Commemmorative Garden and catch Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier's FLOWER BIRD FLOWER on the Verandah Gallery

The three textile banners that form Flower Bird Flower are made of recycled vintage tent canvas and feature unique screenprints of flowers and birds. The artworks make a nostalgic reference to camping, featuring guy ropes, timber runners, and brass plated tent poles. For Joe and Chanelle, who spent years visiting family on the Central Coast, these works tell a story of love and grief.

The bird motif in the work depicts the Australian darter, large, slim birds with extremely long, slender necks and sharp, dagger-like bills. They are sometimes called snakebirds because they often swim with their bodies submerged, leaving only their long neck visible above the water.

The flower motif featured in the work is a ‘highway daisy’ which grows along the coastal motorways of NSW. Joe and Chanelle first encountered this daisy while stopping on the side of the road on a visit to Joe’s mum’s mobile home at Avoca Beach. The flower represents resilience and rebellion, often growing in hostile spaces (and yet it also has a sunny disposition).

Stop in and check out this beautiful and moving work.

CONFLUENCE is NOW ON until September 13.

The exhibition brings together the work of David Collins and Ana Pollak in a dialogue about place, connection, partnership and sensitivity.

Pollak and Collins have been in a partnership for over 40 years, since moving to the Hawkesbury River in 1987, the river’s tides, fogs, sandstone, flora, fauna, mudflats and mangroves, have been the major influence on their work.
