A remarkable exhibition celebrating the career of one of the Sunshine Coast’s, and Australia’s, most accomplished ceramicists, Johanna DeMaine, will open at Caloundra Regional Gallery on Friday, March 6.

Don’t miss this one-time opportunity to be a part of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2020, in the year when Caloundra Regional Gallery will celebrate its 20th Anniversary.

Caloundra Regional Gallery announced its 2020 exhibition program today, a diverse and inspiring program that will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the gallery.

Playful, artistic activations will soon be popping up throughout the streets, parks and laneways of Caloundra as a part of Sunshine Coast Council’s Place2Play project.

At a special ceremony attended by more than 400 dignitaries, nominees and their guests, Mark Forbes, the founder of endED, a Sunshine Coast service that now provides nationwide support to people with eating disorders and their families, was today announced as the 2020 Sunshine Coast Citizen of the Year.

The winners of the sixth annual Local Artists Local Content Art Prize have been announced, with Nambour artist Ken Munsie awarded the $5000 Best of Show prize for his mixed-media work Messages from the Mountains.

From more than 100 entries, 40 finalists have been selected for the 2020 Local Artists - Local Content Art Prize exhibition, which will open at Caloundra Regional Gallery on January 16.

There’s so much to see and do in Caloundra, the Sunshine Coast’s ‘City of Beaches’ these holidays. Make sure you add some of these events to the family calendar.

Imagine having your own space to be creative – to write or draw, imagine and reflect while enjoying fresh breezes and water views – well, there is such a place, on an island, on the Sunshine Coast, and artists from across the country can now apply for this piece of paradise.

Sunshine Coast Council will have some changes to hours of services during the festive season.
