Launch of Artists in Action Art Trail

Excitement is building in Gateway Dr, Noosaville, as the area’s emerging creative precinct prepares to officially launch its inaugural art trail event –Artists in Action. Over the past year, this oncequiet industrial strip has transformed into a vibrant, artistic enclave, now home to numerous working artist studios, 2 contemporary art galleries, photography spaces, interior design studios, clothing stores, a vintage emporium, Affinity Coffee Collective, and more.

With a diverse community of creatives calling Gateway Dr home, it is the perfect time to celebrate and showcase the local talent that has been steadily flourishing. Artists in Action is a weekend-long celebration presented by the Gateway to Art collective. This dynamic event highlights the spirit of local artistry, with participating studios and galleries throwing open their doors across 3 days of immersive art experiences. From painting and glasswork to sculpture and mosaics, there’s something to inspire every visitor.

The event kicks off on 8 August from 4-8pm and continues across the weekend on 9&10 August from 10am-4pm each day. As part of the experience, visitors can collect a Gateway Visitor Card to be stamped at each participating location – collected from the welcome table next to Studio One Noosa. Completed cards will go into the draw to win a $1,000 art voucher and a specially curated hamper filled with locally made treasures from the precinct.

Participating artists and studios include Dianne Mclnerney, Kate Owen, Jo Cook, Lis Eberle, Sean O’Donoghue, Leighton Contemporary, Fiona Bastow, Dallas Lesley at Coast Contemporary Studios, Studio One Noosa and Sunshine Mosaic Art.
