Beat the end-of-school holiday boredom and take the kids to Caloundra Regional Gallery for some free creative fun.

Inspired by your favourite food, create a fun, colourful and quirky piece of jewellery at Friday3Live from 6-8pm on January 19 at Caloundra Regional Gallery.

When you’re out and about these holidays, keep an eye out for the many fantastic public artworks that can be found across the Sunshine Coast.

Sunshine Coast Council has the essentials covered over the Christmas/New Year break.

Mayor Mark Jamieson has described 2017 as a landmark year for the Sunshine Coast thanks to the significant progress that has been made delivering economic, environment and community initiatives.

Two of council’s prized heritage and art collections have been recognised by Museums and Galleries Queensland at a special event in Caloundra.

Visit Caloundra Regional Gallery from today to explore the latest touring exhibition from Heide Museum of Modern Art, one of Australia’s leading art museums, featuring works by contemporary Australian artist Michelle Nikou.

If you know a person, community group or organisation making a difference to life on the Coast, give them the recognition they deserve by nominating them for a 2018 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award.

It has been a year of great progress for the Sunshine Coast and the community can now view the highlights of 2016-17 and key information on our region thanks to the release of council’s annual report.

The Sunshine Coast is set to showcase the works of some of the nation’s most acclaimed wildlife artists, with Caloundra Regional Gallery hosting the much-anticipated Holmes Acquisitive Art Prize for Excellence in Realistic Australian Bird Art exhibition between Wednesday, 8 November and Sunday, 3 December.
