Gallery art resurfaces

Owen Thomas.

AFTER the closure of their space at the Marina, the artists of Harbourside Gallery are determined not to be forgotten.
Ten of the local gallery’s most popular artists are opening their home studios for three days over the Easter Weekend, welcoming the public to browse among their works while they demonstrate, discuss techniques, and share a few secrets.
Each with their unique style, the artists will be showing a diverse and comprehensive range of artworks.
From Dave Gilbert’s wonderful 3D clowns and seascapes, to the beautifully classical oil and watercolour paintings of Alexandria Hogan, Jose Palmer Gabe’s traditional oil paintings and Jean Parker’s colourful watercolours, which just delight, there is sure to be something to please the eyes and inspire the imagination.
Also welcoming visitors into their studios will be the talented Chris Postle, Beatrice Prost, Kent Smith, Owen Thomas, Tricia Bradford and Giuliana De Witts.
Each of the studios will be open from 9am to 4pm daily on Saturday, 4 April, Sunday, 5 April and Monday 6 April.
“Harbourside Gallery may not be at the Marina any more but the versatile and sought after Harbourside artists are still here and are still producing great art and craft and their work is still available with an ever increasing stock on hand,” local artist Tricia Bradford said.
“No longer with a venue to display the art, ten of us have decided to open our home studios in Noosa to the public over the Easter weekend to showcase our latest works of art and to display other work at discounted prices – as they will have no commission to pay.”
Information and addresses in the form of leaflets and cards may be found at the Noosa Library, Noosa Regional Gallery and at other venues. Telephone 0411 244 304 547 5007 or contact trish@castaways.ws.
