Art Whitsunday Inc. is a group of dedicated and passionate artists of all ages working in a variety of mediums, including but not limited to, painting, sculpting, printmaking, textile art and photography.
Incorporated in 1986, the group currently has around 80 members who participate in exhibitions, workshops and social events and can exhibit at the ‘Art Whitsunday Gallery and Shop’.
Each year a public exhibition is held, to which a prominent personality in the arts is invited to judge around 120 new unseen artworks. Opening night is a popular event and the public looks forward to viewing new artworks and appreciating the professional progress being made by the local artists. The judge provides professional feedback and a comprehensive critique that helps to advance the arts in the Whitsundays.
Members gather on the first Sunday of each month for a social meeting where they share ideas and friendship and develop professionally by exchanging information and experiences.
Regular workshops are provided for both members and the public and help participants to develop and learn new skills in a variety of different mediums. The workshops are taught by local and invited tutors and are an invaluable source of professional development.
Members are able to show and sell their work on a regular basis at the ‘Art Whitsunday Gallery and Shop’ currently located at the Whitsunday Shopping Centre in Cannonvale. The first gallery was opened in March 2012 in Airlie Beach and moved to Cannonvale March 2014. The gallery is run by the many dedicated, volunteering members who give a large amount of their time and effort to the smooth running of this valuable project.
Each year Art Whitsunday is sponsored and supported by many local businesses. We would like to sincerely express our thanks for your continued support.
