Sunshine Coast Hinterland Open Studios 2012

The open studios program, presented by Arts Connect Inc., is focused on encouraging public engagement with the arts. We will be holding our next event over 4 weekends in Sep/Oct 2012.

Expressions of interest are now open – please see our detailed information for artists.

Arts Connect Inc. supports and promotes the practice and the enjoyment of the arts. A membership driven incorporated association, we are based in Queensland's Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Arts Connect Inc. encourages excellence within local arts practice through shared activities, workshops, collaboration and mentoring.

By initiating opportunities for artists to exhibit and sell their works we further establish the Hinterland as a unique 'arts destination'.

Mainly driven by local visual artists, Arts Connect Inc. membership is open to all who wish to enjoy the arts - be they artist or art lover.

By encouraging and initiating arts participation at local events, Arts Connect Inc. aims to stimulate a greater understanding of the arts within local communities.

Some of our initiatives to achieve these goals are:
