With more than 100 paintings on display, this year’s Tinbeerwah Art Show is the biggest in its 29-year history.
“If a picture is worth a thousand words,“ the artists of Tinbeerwah Art Group have written a book,” committee member Jan Cooke told Noosa Today.
As in previous years, the show will support the palliative care work of Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan.
It will open on Friday, September 15, at 5.30pm at Tinbeerwah Hall, on the corner of Sunrise and Cooroy- Noosa Rd, Tinbeerwah. Guest speaker is Lorraine Kypiotis, head of undergraduate studies at the National Art School Sydney.
Jan said “This year our guest tutors are Fiona Groome, Pam Miller, Jeanette Smith, Charlotte Wensley, Anne Yang and Stacey Petersen. Each year our wonderful tutors introduce our members to new techniques and develop our skills in different mediums.
“To accommodate more than fifty members we meet at Tinbeerwah Hall in two groups on Thursday and Friday mornings during school term times. Members range in abilities from complete beginners to award winning artists.
“We paint in a variety of mediums – acrylics, watercolours, oils, pastels, charcoal and pencil, collage and mixed media. Members are encouraged to develop their own unique styles and this is reflected in the eclectic display of paintings in our art show. Check out our work on the Tinbeerwah Art Group Facebook page.”
Friday Sept 15, 11.30am – 5pm, Gala Opening 5.30pm. Saturday Sept 16, 9am – 4pm, Sunday 17th Sept 9.30am – 3pm. Further information contact Jan Cooke 0412 769 351
