Art to excite

"E=MC2" by Allan Shannon. Albert Einstein and Venus De Milo. The Mind and the Muse. Beauty and Perfection of the Mind and Body. Allan Shannon’s masterly skills are brought forth in an exquisite juxtaposition on canvas. Highly collected, Allan is the Elder of Arts, a Sunshine Coast living treasure, and his works always stimulate thought and incredulity at his application.

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.
