25.01.2022 Our Papermakers do more than just make paper. They turn paper into artworks! This is Sue Bradshaw's piece for the Primrose Paper exhibition in the in Transit Gallery Space at North Sydney Council Chambers starting at the end of November. Made of torn and woven strips of handmade lemongrass paper embedded with pansies. Fits the exhibition theme 'A Subtlety' perfectly.

11.01.2022 Cooroy Butter Factory Art after 70 Exhibition Opening with Dave Gilbert

10.01.2022 On Saturday October 3rd we invite all art lovers to a public art installation called 'Deck Chairs on the Green' at Noosa Botanic Gardens Amphitheatre. With C...OVID restrictions putting a stop to all previous forms of fund raising for the annual Noosa Open Studios Art Trail, Sunshine Beach artist Yanni van Zijl developed an idea with the Noosa Open Studios committee around a safe outdoors event that’s also an inventive way to showcase the trail’s artists. Tourism Noosa also saw great opportunities to maximise Noosa reputation as an art region and partnered with NOS on this project and provided an enabling special financial grant. It occurred to me that the beauty of this idea is that we get to showcase the beautiful hinterland and the multitude of artists living in this region and mirror this installation on the coast, further underpinning Noosa’s arts credentials. explains Yanni The 25 deckchairs making up the installation all have unique canvas slings painted by top Noosa shire artists, enabling each chair to double as a frame for original art, rather than a painting on an easel an iconic and novel way to celebrate the cultural aspects of Noosa. Adding to the local provenance, the chair frames are made from locally sourced timber in Cooran and cut, seasoned and hand made in Cooroy by the local craftsmen of the Cooroora Woodworkers Club. At the 'Deck Chairs on the Green' event, all 25 deck chairs will be auctioned - with proceeds supporting the staging of this year’s Noosa Open Studios Art Trail. The preview will run from 12.00pm - 2.30pm and the auction will start at 2.30pm. Bring a BYO picnic and enjoy some music by Lee Hardisty. You can also view these chairs at pre auction at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre on Saturday 26th from 10am - 3pm, where you can choose your favorite chair and place a bid. https://noosaopenstudios.com.au/deck-chairs-on-the-green/
