An art fair will be launched in Kin Kin on Sunday 7 November and is set to run monthly in conjunction with the local markets.
Kin Kin Depot owners Max Webberley and Jo Wiles are launching the fair for local artists to display their work in the community for free.
“The market is a hub of the community where everyone will go for a chat on a Sunday,“ Max said.
“As part of a reinvigoration, my wife and I have decided that one thing we could contribute is an art fair at the School of Arts Hall which is a short stroll away from the markets.
“We thought because it’s such an artistic community that we could stage an art fair to draw the community together.
“The current range of exhibitors is quite diverse and includes not only painters but ceramists, jewellers, and mosaic artists.”
The fair will run at the Kin Kin School of the Arts Hall on the first Sunday of every month from 8am to 4pm with a country afternoon tea and refreshments.
Current exhibitors include Noosa Hinterland artist Greg Liersch, who will be showing his popular Shallow Water Expression series.
Local artists who would like to get involved in future art fairs can contact Max Webberley on 0418 395 928.
