Hazelhurst 20 Years
Hazelhurst was originally the self-sustainable farm and home of Ben and Hazel Broadhurst who bequeathed their house and land to Sutherland Shire Council with the stipulation that it must only be used for the community and that a large portion of the greenspace should remain. A dedicated group of artists, including Garry Shead, George Gittoes and Bob Marchant along with art teacher and former Councillor Byron Hurst, lobbied the Council to establish a regional gallery to support the region鈥檚 dynamic arts community.
Opened in 2000, Hazelhurst is now one of Australia鈥檚 leading regional galleries has had more than 3.5 million visitors in the last 20 years. With its international standard Regional Gallery, Broadhurst Gallery for smaller projects, dedicated teaching studios, expansive gardens, and dynamic program of exhibitions, education and public programs and studio classes, Hazelhurst is a vibrant community hub that inspires creativity and supports southern Sydney鈥檚 artists and arts workers.
To celebrate 20 years of Hazelhurst more than 350 artists from southern Sydney were invited to take part in a massive exhibition in the Regional Gallery. It brings together the region鈥檚 artists and is the first time the gallery has hosted an exhibition of this magnitude. Importantly, the exhibition is an opportunity to say thank you for the support artists have given Hazelhurst over the past 20 years.
