Art Exhibition: SC Arts Centre: Friends of the Gallery

The Friends of the Gallery (FOG) is our annual celebration of the creativity of our membership. This wonderful exhibition launches our new year, and features the work of members of the Sunshine Coast Arts Council.

The exhibition is a long-standing community event that has spanned more than 30 years. Its’ aim is to involve the broadest range of local artists, to acknowledge the role of the arts in our community, and to celebrate the extraordinary diversity in materials, forms and approach. Artists are invited to submit one piece of art they have completed in the previous year to be shown in this group exhibition. Last year we had 111 artists, making it the largest FOG exhibition yet!
