Gosford Art Prize | Judges Announced!

We are excited to announce our 2026 Gosford Art Prize judges - Dean Cross and Sally Dan-Cuthbert ✨

Dean Cross was the winner of the Gosford Art Prize 2025 First Nations Artist Prize. He was born and raised on Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country and is a Worimi man. Interested in the collisions of materials, ideas and histories, he understands that his practice sits within a continuum of the oldest living culture on Earth – and enacts First Nations sovereignty through contemporary art. His cross-disciplinary practice explores the legacies of modernism, rebalancing dominant cultural and social histories.

Sally Dan-Cuthbert is the Curator and Director of Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert. She has worked as a curator, art specialist and industry-respected independent art advisor for over 35 years. As Director of Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert, Dan-Cuthbert represents local and international artists and designers, delivering an intergenerational programme of rigorous contemporary art, objet d'art and collectible design.

Enter the Gosford Art Prize today. See our web page for details, entry form and terms and conditions https://gosfordregionalgallery.com/page/gosford-art-prize
