What's On

Coastal Twist LGBTIQ Arts & Culture Festival will be unveiling a major new exhibition “Rise & Shine” aligning with the 2024 Festival theme and featuring a curation of locally based professional, mid-career and promising emerging multiplatform artists displaying pieces across ceramics, painting, photography, multimedia and sculpture with each work offering a fresh Central Coast LGBTIQ perspective, with a unique Coastal Twist. This year we once again bring in the Youth Entries from our 12 – 17 yr. old creatives as well as an all-ages category.

2024 Marks our 4th Coastal Twist Festival LGBTIQA+ Art Exhibition and this year’s works are examining and revealing personal stories, coastie lives and celebrating art. Artists responding to the “Rise & Shine” theme in different ways; some have made political works challenging the status quo, others made work about their struggles they have overcome into empowerment, and others have made intimate personal works talking about transformation in their lives.
