COOLUM Art Collective is excited to announce a change to the dates of their annual Spring Exhibition, with the event moved forward and coinciding with the middle of the school holidays. Traditionally held over the October long weekend, this year’s exhibition will now take place from September 25-27.

The three-day event has been rescheduled in response to feedback from the many art lovers who regularly spend the long weekend camping and enjoying time with family.

Another exciting change is the Official Opening, which will move from its usual Saturday afternoon timeslot to Friday evening, giving visitors the opportunity to celebrate the opening of the exhibition and enjoy the weekend at their leisure.

The upcoming exhibition, Horizons, promises to be a celebration of creativity and artistic talent and inspirational visual artist Tricia Reust will serve as guest judge for the event.

Tricia is widely respected for her work across a variety of media and is also known as a workshop presenter, video educator, author and a life member of the Pastel Society of Australia.

This year’s exhibition will also welcome two new exhibiting artists, Charlie McGann and Jacqui O’Grady, who will be showcasing their work alongside the group’s established members.

The official opening and awards presentation will take place on Friday, September 25, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Guests can enjoy live music, refreshments, and a charity auction in support of Our Moon’s Mission – Genetic Cures for Kids. Tickets for the opening night are available for $10 per person at https://cacevents.square.site

The exhibition will be open to the public from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Sunday. Visitors are invited to explore and purchase a diverse collection of original artworks handcrafted by talented local artists and artisans.

Whether you’re an art enthusiast, collector, or simply looking for inspiration, Coolum Art Collective looks forward to welcoming you to their Spring Exhibition – Horizons.
