Expect a record 40 artists, 140 paintings and no limit to the imaginative style of the works on display!
That’s the excited report from Tinbeerwah Art Group committee members, Julie Dare and Mary Zouglakis, on TAG’s annual three-day art show which starts on Friday 19 September.
Using acrylic, oil, watercolour and pastel the show has attracted a wide range of styles, subjects and approaches, including realism and abstract.
The 60-member TAG paints in groups on Thursday and Friday mornings and is now in its 31st year.
“So many people are finding it a joy,” Julie said.
“We have very strong supportive environment. It’s about having fun and part of that fun is being creative.
“Our tutors this year are prominent local artists Pam Miller, Fiona Groom and Paulus Kooij. They provide practical guidance for newer artists in developing drawing and painting techniques and guide our more experienced artists to achieve more professional results.”
She said Sunshine Coast Bendigo Bank director Gerard O’Brien would open the art show.
“The Tewantin, Cooroy and Marcoola banks have held exhibitions for us and individual members and we just want to say thank you.”
And, as in previous years, five per cent of all paintings sold, raffle proceeds and all coin donations will be donated to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice in memory of TAG’s founder Gwen Blair who died at the hospice in 2013.
TAG Art Show, Tinbeerwah Hall, corner Sunrise and Noosa-Cooroy Rds, Tinbeerwa, Friday 19 September, 12 – 5pm, official opening 5.30pm. Saturday 9am to 4pm, Sunday 10am to 3.30pm.
