SUMMARY:GPAG: Arts & Words Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us with the Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Society for the 2026 Arts and Words Festival\, a three day literary festival in which writers collaborate with visual artists! \nEvery year\, artists and writers on the Sunshine Coast are randomly paired together. Working together they reflect on each other’s stories\, artistic practices\, styles\, and bodies of work to create a literary work and a visual work that resonate with and echo each other; often resulting in long-term friendship and collaboration across artistic disciplines. We invite all to join us during this festival to view the huge breadth of art and words on display\, as well as for workshops\, keynote speakers\, interviews\, and more. Immerse yourself in the Sunshine Coast’s literary and visual arts scene. \nFind the full schedule of events\, as well as our opening hours during the festival\, online!

SUMMARY:GPAG: Lori Thicke\, Dreamer's Daughter Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Lori Thicke\, cousin of the late Alan Thicke\, will be interviewed by Michael Gurney and read from her national bestselling debut memoir\, “Dreamer’s Daughter: Surviving My Childhood and Raising My Father.” In a mining town where hope is as tapped-out as the gold\, a mother abandons her two children. Dreamer’s Daughter is a memoir of what happens next as Lori\, 10\, and Brad\, 5\, end up in the custody of their free-spirited father. Colourful and larger-than-life\, Dacker is a dreamer who fails spectacularly at everything — except at being a loving parent.
