Welcome to our August Newsletter for 2024.

Dear Members of the Sunshine Coast Art Community

As we move into August, I am thrilled to share exciting updates and opportunities with you all. The preparations for Open Studios Sunshine Coast 2025 are well underway, and the enthusiasm and support we’ve received so far have been encouraging.  This event promises to be a vibrant celebration of local talent and creativity, showcasing the incredible work of our artists to both locals and visitors alike.

However, bringing this vision to life requires the collective effort of our dedicated community. We are currently looking for passionate volunteers and committee members to join us in organising and executing this fantastic event. Whether you have experience in event planning, marketing, logistics, or simply a love for the arts, your contribution can make a significant difference.

Volunteering or joining a committee not only offers a chance to support our local artists but also provides a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience, meet like-minded individuals, and be part of something truly special.  Without a working committee, the event is in jeopardy of not continuing in its current format.

If you are interested in volunteering or becoming a committee member, please reach out to us at openstudios@artsconnectinc.com.au, Lea on 0461 495 231 president@artsconnectinc.com.au, Jen on 0438 165 368.  We would love to hear from you and discuss how your skills and interests can help us make Open Studios Sunshine Coast 2025 an unforgettable experience.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the arts. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where our artists can thrive and our community can engage with the rich cultural tapestry of the Sunshine Coast.

Please also note: Any participants who haven’t returned your flags and signage, please contact openstudios@artsconnectinc.com.au or Lea on 0461 495 231 or Jen as above, and make arrangements to return signage at your earliest convenience.

Warm regards
Jen Braithwaite
President
