Local Artists – Local Content Art Prize highlights the diverse beauty of the Sunshine Coast region. From the ancient peaks of the Glass House Mountains to the shores of Caloundra to Noosa, the Sunshine Coast is one of the world’s most loved destinations.

Artists across the region showcase its beauty through painting, drawing, printmaking and sculptures at our annual Local Artists – Local Content Art Prize held at Caloundra Regional Gallery.

The Regional Gallery at Caloundra presents a dynamic exhibition program featuring leading national and local artists, complemented by immersive public programs, educational programs, tours and events. The Gallery Store showcases regional and national artisans, with a focus on local, hand-crafted items and a curated Pop-Up Feature Artisan program with every exhibition. The Gallery is also home to the region's diverse art collections – the Sunshine Coast Art Collection and the Public Art Collection. View the 2023 finalists.
