Chairman of the Bouddi Foundation for the Arts, Shakespearean actor and theatrical director John Bell AO, OBE, FRSN, has announced a near record $57,600 in grants awards to 21 young artists from the Central Coast across a wide range of genres.

“Every year, I am astonished at the depth of talent among young people from the Central Coast”, he said, “and 2022 is no exception. Indeed, the level of artistry displayed seems to be improving despite the debilitating effects of the pandemic on the arts and artists across Australia and the world.”
