Many interstate and regional visitors have been stepping into local artist’s studios after the first three-day weekend of Noosa Open Studios, with many visitors indicating they will be returning next weekend.
Now in its fourth year, Noosa Open Studios has been attracting an increased number of visitors from far and wide, with some studios reporting over 300 visitors so far.
Cooroy Future Group President Carol Watkins is a ceramic artist located at Black Mountain and she said, “The Butter Factory in Cooroy has been a hive of activity over the weekend with many people visiting and picking up Open Studio Guides, and meeting with artists in the Residency Studio upstairs.”
With artist studios from Peregian in the south to Noosa, Doonan and Eumundi, Black Mountain, Pomona, Cooroibah and Boreen Point, there are so many wonderful studios to visit, and talented artists to meet where you can immerse yourself in their studios, techniques and resulting amazing works.
Art ranges from glass artisan works, painting across a range of media, steel sculpture, paper sculptures, ceramics and even a knife maker, so there is something creative for everyone to see.
The studios and galleries are open until next Sunday, so mark your diary for Friday, Saturday and Sunday 23, 24 and 25 August and follow the trails to over 75 studios and galleries to participate in this feast for the senses.
