Second exhibition at Anglican Church

St Luke's Anglican Church Artspace in Woy Woy will officially open its second exhibition Shallow Edges Deep Centres on Saturday, February 13.

Project coordinator Ms Susie O'Donnell said the success and community feedback from last year's exhibition Where Earth Meets Sky prompted organisers to continue with regular art displays for the community to enjoy.

Ms O'Donnell said the upcoming exhibition would be focused around the theme of water.

"The Reverend Penny Jones is offering hanging space for local artists to exhibit and the response has been pleasing," Ms O'Donnell said.

"The project aims at supporting local artists and raising the profile of the church within the community.

"The exhibitions will change themes every three months.

"This is to allow access of the space to a wider variety of artists as well as addressing a variety of community concerns such as water."

Ms O'Donnell said the official opening of the exhibition would feature special guests Cr Peter Freewater, Ms Lisa Wriley from Kariong Community Eco Garden, Mr Joachim Muller from the Peninsula Environment Group and Mr John Wiggin of the Australian Conservation Foundation Central Coast Branch.

Cr Peter Freewater, Greens candidate for the Federal seat of Robertson is a marine scientist and prior to becoming a Gosford councillor managed Gosford's waterways for six years as a council staff member," Ms O'Donnell said.

"He currently lectures in Marine Ecology and Coastal Resource Management at the University of Newcastle.

"There will also be presentations from other local community environment groups throughout the afternoon starting from 3pm.

"Music will be performed by Jacqui O'Reilly and light refreshments served."
