ARTS & CULTURE

Noosa inspires a dynamic community of artists and performers whose talent is showcased in galleries, studios, venues, theatres, markets, halls, laneways and at events.

See creations by well known and emerging painters, photographers, sculptors, jewellery and furniture designers, glass blowers, ceramicists, wood and metal workers, textile and print makers and others. Meet the makers or join a masterclass or workshop and take home a unique memento.

Noosa’s major public art space, the Noosa Regional Gallery showcases touring exhibitions along with our own artists at the riverside venue. The Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre has regular exhibitions and their artisan store has a great range of handcrafted gifts.

The annual Noosa Open Studios Art Trails provide a rare chance to visit artists in their studios, while other events including Floating Land, Australian Body Art Festival and Tall Trees also showcase Noosa’s vibrant arts scene.

See live theatre, comedy, dance, music of all genres, fashion and film at cultural festivals such as NOOSA Alive! and at major venues including The J, Noosa Arts Theatre and the historic Majestic Theatre in Pomona – the world’s oldest continuously running silent movie theatre!
