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!

September meeting of the Suncoast Woodcrafters Guild

This month’s presentation will be “The Moravian Workbench: From Pile of Parts to Rock-Solid in Minutes” by Blake Allenby.
What if your workbench could be rock-steady for hand planing one minute, and packed away the next — all without losing an ounce of strength? Join member Blake Allenby as he shares the story of building a Moravian workbench using a centuries-old design that is perfect for modern small shops. See how it’s built, learn why it works, and watch it go together in just minutes during a live assembly demo.
