A word from our Director ...
Hello and welcome to the start of 2020!
We start our year with the exciting Local Artists – Local Content Art Prize exhibition and some of our region’s best artists revealing in their work what makes the Sunshine Coast the best place in the world!
From our wonderful beaches to our mountains, people and everything in between, this Friends, Regional Gallery Caloundra Inc., initiative catches them all.
You can join us for the Official Opening and Winners' Announcement on Friday 17 January with the exhibition on show until 1st March. We also invite your vote in the People’s Choice, so make sure you drop in and vote for your favourite work!
This month we also launched the Inaugural Local Artists - Local Content Student Award exhibition at The Events Centre on Wednesday 8 January (on show until 1 March). Showcasing some of our wonderful upcoming artists ranging from 7 years old through to 17, it’s wonderfully diverse! Make sure you give The Events Centre a ring to confirm availability for viewing on (07) 5401 4240.
For the hands-on among you, we’re running an excellent series of public programs during the Local Artists - Local Content Art Prize exhibition utilising the skills of artists on show. Spots go really quickly, so check out the details on our website and book in while you can!
AND just when you think we are done for January/February we also have the launch of Helena Jackson-Lloyd’s exhibition Drawing (Coast) Lines on Thursday 16 January at Maroochydore Library Artspace and on show until 1 February.
We’re calling for EOIs from artists for our 2020- 2021 program in the Maroochydore Library Artspace. Head to our website for all the details and get your application in!
So that is a quick glance at our exhibitions for January and February….we have a sensational exhibition and public program calendar planned for 2020 - one I hope excites, challenges and entertains - check out our Gallery 6 month brochure on-line or pick one up in-house when you come to the launch for LALC and vote for your favourite work – we know judges always get it wrong! :)
Catch you in the Gallery,
Jo Duke
Gallery Director
