The Central Coast Collective, Inc (The CCC) www.thecc.co

Through a range of exhibitions, workshops and networking events, The Central Coast Collective, Inc is interested in facilitating arts development in the Wyong Shire and the whole Central Coast. This will enable access for artists of all levels of experience, and all community members, to be involved in creative and artistic expression. We also have the opportunity to connect isolated creative and artistic people, and provide a platform for people to develop their artistic practice. We are a non-profit organisation with free membership. Just join the newsletter to keep updated on our projects.

CURRENT PROJECTS
Activating The Entrance Gallery
The Central Coast Collective, Inc. is working with the community and Wyong Council on proposing a model to activate The Entrance Gallery, along with other ways to encourage and support even more great art on the Central Coast.

Activating Art Spaces
on the Central Coast
The CCC is currently working on activating spaces in the Wyong Shire to enable artists to have working studio space, to run workshops from, to exhibit and sell arts and crafts and to hold visual and performing arts events. Currently our focus is in The Entrance and Tuggerah and we will expand to other areas in the future.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of The Central Coast Collective, Inc. is “Facilitating Performing & Visual Artists To Reach Their Potential.”
