The arts trail from your Sunshine Coast accommodation
When you are enjoying your Sunshine Coast accommodation, you should be looking at the many art galleries in the area. The Blackall range has many galleries but one to consider first may be Eumundi. This small town boasts 7 galleries in a coalition called the Galleries of Eumundi.
Why should you visit a Sunshine Coast art gallery? If you ever wanted to witness the awe inspiring power of art in all its glory this is the place to come. From a wide array of paintings, using multiple styles, techniques, and materials, to more exotic presentations, you will be able to explore to your heart's content. You won't have to worry about finding local artists here, they are all local artists!
There are many unique galleries, all in one location. The local aborigines have their own gallery here, telling their stories through paintings. There is a gallery devoted to sculptures of glass, unconventional designs, brilliant colours, shapes that you wouldn't think possible.
As far as paintings go, there is no other place where so many beautiful pieces are gathered together. No matter what you may be interested in, contemporary, abstract, paintings, photography, or something in between you will find it all in one place. You will be amazed at some of these works of art, and will want to pick something up for yourself.
The best part about all of these unique galleries and presentations is that all the pieces are for sale. Instead of buying some cheap novelty to remind you of your once in a lifetime experience, why not bring home something that will last a lifetime of enjoyment. Whether it's a unique wall hanging, a sculpture, or something elegant but practical, like a vase or decanter, you will be assured it will be talked about for years to come!
Since the artists all live in the area, you know it's money well spent. Artists are probably the most hard working, least paid people. To many of them it's not about the money, but that all people should have something nice and beautiful in their homes.
You will find many shows and special exhibitions on a regular basis. When you are booking your Sunshine Coast accommodation, why not ask for information on what kinds of special events are going on as well, and schedule these into your daily itinerary. That way you won't miss out on some of the best things this area has to offer.
One other thing to note is that every year from August to September, a Sunshine Coast Art Prize is held, in the fourth year running. As recognition of the Sunshine Coast arts scene, it boasts one of the richest arts prizes, $20,000. It is a must see event when visiting the area.
