Kenilworth ArtsFest 25 years

KENILWORTH ArtsFest this year celebrates its silver jubilee. The event arose from humble beginnings with borrowed display boards and make-shift plinths and is now one of the Sunshine Coasts’ major art events.

This year’s festival will run from 26 to 28 May with visual art, 3D works, poetry and music. A special 3D section this year is for works made from recycled materials.

The venue, as usual, is the Kenilworth Public Hall with fantastic prize money on offer for the Kenilworth Art Award.

We look forward to seeing many visitors as we celebrate our Silver Jubilee.

ST GEORGES-IN-THE-HILLS first concert, featuring classical guitarist Paul Ballam-Cross (pictured) is coming soon to Maleny on Sunday March 26 at 2pm in the church on the corner of Tallowwood Street and Walker Drive.

The St Georges Concert committee said the Brisbane-based professional guitarist is a popular performer, so they are pleased to have been able to secure him and at the low seat price of $20.

“It is very important to us that we can keep our prices down, as we feel our concerts suit a niche market of people who may find it difficult to access a capital city for professional music,” a spokesperson said.

“Most of our regulars enjoy the intimate ambiance of the church venue among friendly like minded concertgoers. We also aim to provide at least four concerts a year with as varied a program as possible.”

Tickets available from MalenyAnglican. com.au/concerts, or ph. Susan 07 5494 3062, or www.trybooking.com/CCFZO.
