UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AT SUNSHINE COAST ART & FRAMING
Sunshine Coast Art & Framing create opportunities to help local artists thrive wherever possible.
The Gallery Cafe addition at our Minyama location has been pivotal in creating innovative ways to engage with artists, including providing them with a space to host workshops. These workshops allow local artists to keep their creativity flowing, share their artistic knowledge and increase their community exposure.
We are committed to providing engaging workshops for the Sunshine Coast and working with various artists and mediums.
Our consistent engagement with local artists allows us direct access to the Sunshine Coast’s best artistic talent, and we are grateful to these amazing artists who give their time to encourage and inspire our local community.
