Cooroy’s art and cinema scene is thriving this October with the return of the Creative Gen exhibition and Cinema on the Roof.
The exhibition Creative Gen is one of the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre’s most popular exhibitions, running from 4 to 27 October.
Guests will get to view the best up and coming young artists from schools from Bundaberg down to Nambour.
It covers a broad range of mediums and features many installations and quality 2D and 3D works.
Whilst new young student artwork is jam packed into the downstairs spaces, the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre gives new life to old artworks in its New Homes for Old Art exhibition in the top floor gallery. This exhibition features works from people’s personal collections that they no longer wish to hang or may even want to sell for some spare cash.
It features work by famous artists like John Lennon, Arthur Boyd and Sidney Nolan as well as a range of landscape paintings and ceramics. This exhibition will run 4 October – 1 December.
Cinema on the rooftop at the Cooroy Library will return again on Saturday 5 October, thanks to the Cooroy Future Group (the people who bring you the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre) working in partnership with Noosa Libraries and with the assistance of some generous sponsors.
Bring your family, a blanket and a picnic to enjoy a movie together under the stars. Soft drinks and freshly cooked popcorn will be available to purchase. Its suggested people arrive before dark to find a spot on the lawn while there is still daylight.
