TAG show honours founder

THE annual Tinbeerwah Art Group show is back for another year, with members busy preparing their works for the two-day exhibition.
The annual art show is dedicated to the memory of the late Gwen Blair who founded the Tinbeerwah Art Group (TAG) in 1997, making it one of the longest running art groups on the Sunshine Coast.
TAG Art Show co-ordinator Jan Cooke said the group had been fortunate to have award-winning artists Noreen Flood, Bob Silver and Kerry Wilson as guest tutors throughout the year.
“They have encouraged us to explore new techniques as well as develop our own individual ideas,” she said.
“This is certainly reflected in the variety of work that will be on display this year. There is something for everyone. Paintings framed and unframed ranging from traditional to contemporary styles in watercolours, acrylics, oils, pastels, charcoal and mixed media all for sale at reasonable prices.”
In addition to the paintings there will be hand-painted cards and bookmark, plus the sale of donated art books at bargain prices and TAG will raffle a painting donated by Reyna Sharwood.
This year, proceeds from the event will be donated to the Thursday Girls group who help support educational programs in the shire.
The Tinbeerwah Art Group (TAG) show official opens on Friday 16 September at 5.30pm, and is a great chance for art enthusiasts to meet artists and discuss their works.
The opening will be held at the Tinbeerwah Hall, on the corner of Sunrise and Cooroy- Noosa Road, Tinbeerwah, on Friday 16 September from 5.30pm, and the show will run from Saturday 17 September from 9am-4pm and again on Sunday 18 September from 10am-3.30pm.
Entry to the show is a gold coin donation. For more information phone Jan Cooke on 5473 0235 or 0412 769 351.
