Celebrating @slowartday today with a flashback to our fabulous Deckchairs installation with @visitnoosa from 2020 (insider’s tip - it will be back in 2021!).

Noosa is already a leader in the Slow Food scene - thanks to our friends at @slowfoodnoosa - so we encourage everyone to take time, appreciate art and come to Noosa from 1-10 October this year to put @noosaopenstudios on the Slow Art must-do map too!

Is film art? This is a question of debate in the art world. Some say it is, some say it isn't, however we think that the any medium that can capture a story in a creative way, is art.⁣
⁣
One of NOS’s 2020 artist @yanni_artist_photographer has created a very clever piece of art through a film entitled 'Casuistry Extreme'⁣ which has been selected to tour Regional Queensland. It is a film that creates an engagement about humans relationship between our actions and the events that are the consequences. Yanni has used herself as the canvas on which to represent the extremes of landscape and our impact on the environment.⁣

You can view this film at the @noosaregionalgallery between January 29th - 21st March

This month @moceanart is running a Children's Earth Painting Creative Play Workshop. This is a play-shop for children where they will play a brief fun art therapy game together using special hand-made mud chalk sticks! They will discover where to forage for & how to make their own mud pigments! Mo will guide them through how to prepare the pigments & to paint an awesome artwork to take home!⁣

Happy you; happy me. This is a little motto that @marg.watt loves when it comes to art. She loves to create colourful vibrant pieces that brighten up her day and others. She has recently completed some new work which we thought you might like, maybe for inspiration or maybe to put on your own wall.⁣

Where are all the #pottery lovers at?⁣
⁣
@carol_watkins_ceramics has recently created some amazingly unique saggar fired pieces which she has on display at the @butterfactoryartscentre. This process is pretty crazy, we did a little research and found a guy throwing chemicals, sugar, coffee and seaweed into the mix to create some amazing effects.⁣
⁣
Two of Carol's pieces have sold already, however, if you want to see her work it is on display at the⁣
'Friends of the Butter Factory' exhibition until January 10th. Of course, you can also click through to her Insta page and do a little virtual shopping too.

We are super excited to share that @fgroom_artist has just finished a 9m mural on the History Shed at Yandina Historic House. It was inspired by the birds that live in the garden surrounding the house and was made possible thanks to a Gambling Community Grant.

If you are looking for things to do during the Christmas break and/or are visiting Noosa, why not visit the 'Friends of the Butter Factory' exhibition at @butterfactoryartscentre⁣
⁣
Some of our NOS artists have work featuring in this exhibition, along with this gorgeous piece by Jan Murphy, titled 'Cautious Steps'. This painting reminds us of the changes to our world and reflecting on current times. Taking small but deliberate steps towards our goals allows us to focus on our journey in a positive way.⁣
⁣
The exhibition will be on until January 10th 2021.
