This is a scary time with so much uncertainty, however, although it would be easy to do nothing, it is more important that we work towards something.

Salvador Dalí once said, “Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it.” Although Noosa Open Studios can't have the show as planned, we are still planning to have the show. Given all the self-containment our artists will be even more excited to open their doors to the public.

The new dates are the 2nd to the 11th of October. It is going to be an amazing few weeks.

Please tag below anyone you know who is an artist, loves art or would just love an interesting weekend adventure in beautiful Noosa.

The finish on this ceramic pot created by @carol_watkins_ceramics is incredible. Maybe she will comment below on her secrets? Carol?

Carol is one of the many amazing ceramicists that participate in the Noosa Open Studios. Her handcrafted techniques, use of combustibles, oxides, self-made glazes, and varied atmospheres ensure that no two pots are ever the same. A specialist in smoke, sagger and raku firings, her results can be unpredictable and at times breathtaking.

Sunday is a fun day, and what could be more fun that having a staring competition with these beautiful zebra's painted by @fgroom_artist. They seem to be staring directly at you.

Here's a question for you, are zebra's white with black stripes or black with white stripes? (comment below)

Fiona Groom began painting in the early 2000’s after commencing a variety of art courses including Diploma of Visual Arts, and a Double Major Degree in Fine Arts. Professionally Fiona’s activities have included a TV episode on Put Some Colour in Your Life and she has held the position of Volunteer Gallery Curator at Yandina Historic House for the past 13 years. Additionally, she has facilitated group exhibitions, art projects, painting workshops, art group tutoring, Artisan Markets and recently she painted a Mural in Nambour.

Although you might be limited by what you can physically do due to social distancing, you can still wander the wall of Instagram.
We are going to share with you all the wonder, colour and creativity from the amazing Noosa Open Studios artists for this years event in October 2020.

Let’s start with @bronwynbarton. Bronwyn began painting in 2008 and although she is largely self-taught she has taken classes and workshops with a number of Australian artists. She is inspired by the natural sub-tropical bush setting she calls home, the colours, the shapes, textures, lines, shadows and reflections. Her work is semi abstract and is characterised by the layering of paint and expressive mark making.

If you love this painting by @bronwynbarton leave a 💛 below, or tag someone who you think will love it.

@rosielloydgiblett has brought all her environment

@rosielloydgiblett has brought all her environmental pieces together at the @noosaregionalgallery showcasing her 'Spaces Between the Trees' exhibition this month. It will be a true delight to see.
@rosielloydgiblett has a regular art practice that is energetic and responsive to the natural environment. Her deep concern for climate change and love of natural landscape is evidenced within her colourful, expressive works. Responsive to the natural environment, Rosie's energetic works invite the viewer in; "I want the viewer to smell the foliage, view the colour pathway and hear the tune of the natural world." For all the details click the link in our bio and head to upcoming events.
