The Tall Trees Community Art Exhibition returns to Cooran this year on 16 to 17 September.
Established by local hinterland artists for the community in 2012, Tall Trees Art has built a strong reputation over the years as one of the most popular community run Sunshine Coast Art Exhibition hosts.
As a not for profit organisation it’s main goal is to develop and nurture artistic pursuits and interests throughout the community.
After years of organising this event and establishing a strong following, in 2022 there was an enforced absence due to the pandemic.
Fast forward through the last few difficult years for the community, and thanks to generous donors including Bendigo Bank Cooroy, and a talented volunteer team of curators and art connoisseurs, the Tall Trees committee is pleased to bring the Tall Trees Art Exhibition back to the community in 2023.
This year’s event will again see art exhibited in various main street businesses and premises with the centrepiece, the Cooran Memorial School of Arts hall, transformed into an art gallery for the weekend.
The event will also feature ‘Small Trees’, a dedicated space for artworks by local children, aged eight and under. Introduced for the first time in 2021, it was a big hit, with some stars of the future on display.
Tall Trees Art Inc president Dean Marsh said, “The new organising team is very committed and excited to get things moving with the 2023 event and look forward to sharing more with the community as the event gets closer.”
“To ensure the success of the event, the Committee is encouraging local artists to apply to exhibit as soon as possible. We are also calling out to the community to assist in many aspects of running the event over the exhibition weekend.”
