SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Gumboot Cafe - Art & Words/Erica Snowlake Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:to April 30th. The exhibition explores Snowlake’s evolution as a community artist\, wordsmith\, and co-founder of the Roberts Creek pier mandala. It centers on Snowlake’s belief that art is a form of meditation and revelation and highlights her signature interdisciplinary style\, where text and imagery function as “portals” for inner exploration and reflection. A central goal of the exhibition is to place these works directly into the homes of the community Erica loved so dearly and freely. Postcards from the afterlife. All proceeds from the sale of the art will fund a forthcoming catalogue of her collected works\, to be published by Temporary Utopia Press. \nA Celebration of Life will be held at the venue on Saturday\, April 4th\, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. There will be story telling\, music\, faery fanfare\, beat poetry and erotic fruits and vegetables.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: GPAG - CARLYN YANDLE | Joyful Making in Perilous Times
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition in the Main Gallery\, large scale fibre art pieces connect domestic rote hand-making methods with abject materials\, issues of personal wellness\, and social engagement. Grappling with critical environmental\, political\, and social issues\, and offering possibilities for different futures\, Yandle creates her pieces over the course of months or years\, beginning as an impulse to engage the hands instead of wringing them and to gather up the lost and unwanted to achieve a new whole. Each project entangles traditional fibre art methods with stuff that is thrown away but is never gone. As each concept grows\, connections are forged with others in the gathering of materials and often in the hand-making\, making community engagement an essential part of Yandle’s art practice. It is there in the macramé tapestry composed of construction-site debris; in the sprawling\, undulating field of braided throwaway jeans; in bound sculptures of plastic fragments plucked from foreshores and landfills; and in a crocheted mass of disintegrated tarp yarded out from a forest. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Sat. April 4th\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: GPAG: HOLLY LOWE | Inkscapes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition in Joe’s Lounge explores the fluidity and flow of colour and texture using alcohol ink. Colour itself serves as the primary inspiration; the way that hues blend\, contrast\, and transform drives each composition. The medium of alcohol ink on synthetic paper enhances the vividness and transparency of the colours\, contributing to the flowing aesthetic of the works and demonstrating a spectrum of expression\, from recognizable landscapes interpreted through an abstract lens to completely non-representational forms. Lowe’s works invite the viewer to experience the energy and movement that naturally arise from the interaction of the inks. Her spontaneous approach results in dynamic\, organic forms and textures unique to each piece\, reflecting the natural energy of the medium. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday April. 4th\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: GPAG: MARIANNE HANSEN | Birds of Prey
DESCRIPTION:Dedicated to the birds of prey on the Sunshine Coast\, this exhibition in the Eve Smart Gallery features fibre sculpted birds alongside their prey in natural settings. Highlighting their delicate forms and powerful presences\, Marianne Hansen’s fibre sculptures reflect these animal’s grace\, power\, and perception; and encourage the viewer to reflect on the raptors of the Sunshine Coast\, our coexistence with them\, and the impact that we have on their environments. The intention is to raise the level of awareness about how many different raptors live on our beautiful coast\, what habitats they choose to live in\, and what types of prey they seek out. Many of these birds have adapted to living within the human habitat. How do we consciously ensure the continuation of these natural wonders? \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday April. 4th\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
