ARTISTS & GALLERIES

Meet Our Artists

With 70 venues and more than 100 artists work on show during Open Studios Sunshine Coast in 2024, you will want to take some time to learn a little more about our individual artists and galleries before planning your artistic adventure.
To make things a little easier we have created six individual trails, three Coastal these are Caloundra, Central and Northern and three hinterland journeys from the Foothills, up to Maleny then on to Montville and the Blackall Range.
Coastal Studios will be open from 10am - 4pm on Saturday, May 18 and 19 and
Hinterland Studios will be open from 10am - 4pm on Saturday, May 25 and 26
Some artists have also chosen to open on the weekdays in between - however it is best to check out the Art Trail Guide to confirm these dates / days.
All of the artists are featured below, and you can also check out the link to their individual trails.
