From now through to 10 October, you can see the crème de le crème of the art world with forty finalists all competing for the 2021 Sunshine Coast Art Prize (SCAP).

Now in its 16th year, the flagship event attracts entries from emerging and established artists across the nation

According to Sunshine Coast Council Councillor Rick Baberowski, who holds the Sunshine Coast Art Portfolio, each year the competition attracts more entries from across Australia.

“The inclusion of so many national artists in the exhibition makes this a great showcase of art of the moment, as well as a testament to our Art Prizes standing on the Australian stage,” he said. “It’s also pleasing to see that six of the forty finalists are from the Sunshine Coast which reflects the creative talent of our region.

“These are challenging times and it’s fascinating how this exhibition provides an insight into the feeling of the creative community,” Cr Baberowski explains.

Caloundra Regional Gallery Manager Jo Duke echoed the councillor’s sentiments when it came to the nationwide response from artists.
