FROM May 18 to 26 art lovers from across the coast are invited to the Sunshine Coast Open Studios event which is allowing the public into the private studios of 55 artists from across the region. Local art collective, ‘The Niche Art Group’ are one of the participating art groups and are thrilled to be exhibiting their works and showing people around the Coolum HeARTs shed which is where they meet. The Niche Artists are a group of 12 award winning artists whose work covers a wide range of styles and subjects, including wildlife, portraits and stunning scenery. Spokesperson Rochelle Gooch stated that the group enjoyed working with oils and a range of mediums would be displayed. “We invite the community to come along and browse through the works on display. “We even have a lucky door prize which is a magnificent painting of Magnetic Island which has been painted by renowned local artist Clive Holden and is valued at $2,000.” The Open Studios Sunshine

Coast is an opportunity for art enthusiasts and collectors to enjoy the rare opportunity to see behind the scenes, meet, and directly support local makers. The curated art trail embraces the region from Caloundra to Coolum along the coastline as well as taking in the Hinterland through popular tourist
destinations like Maleny and Montville. Participants can go on a self-guided tour to visit local artists, buy art, join in workshops and gain a new appreciation for the region’s rich and diverse art scene. Rochelle said they wanted to be part of the trail and represent the diverse art as a group
which was prevalent along the coast. “There had been many individuals in the past but not an actual group from this area and the Open Studios were very pleased to welcome us and to have a group from the coastal region represented.” “We will have our works set up right here in the studio and
Clive will also be painting and showing people exactly what he does.” The Niche Art Group will be ‘open’ across the May 18-19 weekend at the Coolum HeARTs Studio on the corner of Elizabeth St and Sunrise Ave, Coolum from 10am - 4pm. More info: www.openstudios sunshinecoast.com.au
