Community Update 
COOLUM ART COLLECTIVE 
COOLUM BUSINESS & TOURISM  

COMING together to showcase the local community, the Coolum Art Collective joined forces with Coolum Business and Tourism on Friday, October 3, at Coolum Civic Centre for ‘Indulgence’, which celebrated the local region.

The Coolum Art Collective is a group of some 20 local artists who regularly exhibit at Easter and across the October long weekend each year.

Coolum Business and Tourism is the local business chamber, and together the two groups combined their knowledge and expertise to showcase local produce, host local musicians and promote a local charity.

The words for the night were “local” and “art”.

The Coolum Civic Centre lit up with laughter and excitement as both groups combined to promote all things local, including the wonderful art exhibited by the Coolum Art Collective.

Local politicians attended to add their support, and an auction was held with three artworks donated by Coolum Collective Artists.

Local charity ‘Story Dogs’ attended, and the community are being asked to keep the King’s Birthday long weekend next year free for the 2026 event.
