ICONIC Coolum artist Owen Cavanagh launched his surf art exhibition at the Galley Lane art space on Friday, November 7 (pictured). The little gallery is located next to Yum Gelato in Coolum Beach and is an art space which is facilitated by the Coolum Residents Association and their branch out group, the Coolum Art Project (CAP).

CAP is a non-profit concept temporary exhibition trail developed by Coolum Residents Association, and they have the use of the window display exhibition cabinets in the alleyway.

The exhibitions change regularly and have been a great way for local artists to exhibit their work in a public space.

Owen Cavanagh is best known for his wave mural and now his iconic sand mandalas, and his own studio and gallery space out in the Quanda Industrial Estate in Coolum Beach also features lots of other artists with the main theme being ‘surf culture’.

Owen’s exhibition will run until early December and is free to visit.
