Art to excite

By Hollie Harris

MAXINE Stibbe is proud to announce the official launch party for Art @ 16 on Mary Street with an exciting evening of photography, painting, sculpture, aerosol, great live music, carriage rides and even a couple of live horses being painted into skeletons.
This unique and colourful event will showcase the amazing abundance of local creative artists who will share the space for two days, kicking off with the opening next Friday night, at 6pm.
With live music from Shannon Sol Caroll from Band of Frequencies, Miss Moneypenny’s DJ Keiko and DJ Mattamation, the evening will be a very special event.
Just a few of the artists are Brett White from Classic Malibu, Stuart Fergie from OKA, Jad and Mitch13 from White Tiger Tattoo, Leroy Sams from 369 designs, Mattamation from Oz Shot magazine.
The opening is sponsored by Noosa Horses who will be bringing a beautiful antique carriage and two horses along for Maxine Stibbe to body paint skeletons onto and carriage rides will be available.
Also proudly supported by beverage sponsors Sailor Jerry rum and Salty Dog apple/lime soda this is a shindig to put in your calendar.
After a long career with arts and music shows, Maxine is a multi-platform artist who has held solo exhibitions and travelled the world which has helped her creativity prosper and inspired her.
Maxine’s search for a creative industries space led her back to Noosaville, to a warehouse studio in 2014 which was perfect for her forthcoming sculptural series.
Like most professional artists, she is open to visit the studio and gallery by appointment and is open the public on Saturdays, from 9am to 1pm.
Don’t miss the Friday 28 October launch party for Art @ 16, from 6pm to 10pm, or on Saturday 29 October, from 10am to 4pm, at 16 Mary Street, Noosaville.
