Want to be a part of our 2025 event?

Join us for an unforgettable ten days of creativity and discovery!

Immerse yourself in the vibrant art scene of the Sunshine Coast, as you meet talented local artists in their own creative spaces.

Open Studios Sunshine Coast provides a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes, connect directly with makers, and support the region’s artistic community.

The curated art trails travel through the gorgeous hinterland from the Glass House Mountains to Mapleton and along the coastline from Caloundra to Coolum and everywhere in between.

Embark on a self-guided journey, exploring local studios, purchasing one-of-a-kind artworks, participating in hands-on workshops with artists, and gaining a deeper appreciation for the diverse artistic landscape that defines the Sunshine Coast.

This year the trail showcases an exciting array of mediums, including ceramics, drawing, glass, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, metalwork, woodwork, jewellery, and more. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time art lover, this is your chance to experience exceptional local art and purchase directly from the artists themselves.
