ARTISTS ON TRACK FOR EASTER

RIGHT ACROSS OUR REGION THIS MONTH THERE ARE ARTISTS HARD AT WORK IN THEIR HOMES AND STUDIOS CREATING PIECES IN PREPARATION FOR COOLUM ART COLLECTIVE'S

2023 Easter Art Exhibition

The annual event will be held at the Coolum Civic Centre from April 7 to 10, stretching from three days to four this year off the back of its increasing popularity with local art lovers.

More than 200 original artworks will be offered for sale over the four days, comprising both traditional and current styles including oils and watercolours to acrylic, mixed media and pastel works.

Award winning Australian artist Garry Dolan has been named as the VIP guest speaker and judge for this year’s event and will share his story and demonstrate his technique as part of the proceedings.

Dolan is well known for his art and has a passion for capturing the grace and movement of ballet dancers.

It’s a passion that has earned him the title of Artist in Residence at a number of ballet companies.

He is also a founding member of Sunshine Coast Plein Air Painters.

Entry to the exhibition is free and visitors have the opportunity to vote for their favourite artist in the “People’s Choice award”.

All are welcome to attend the official opening and presentation of prizes by Garry Dolan on Saturday, April 8 at 3pm, as well as the opportunity to enjoy the music provided by local group “The Shoplifters”.
