The Zooming into 2030 exhibition featuresphotographs and drawings from a competition which sought images from the community for use in Sunshine Coast Council’s Community Plan.
Community Policy and Programs Portfolio councillor Jenny McKay said the competition received hundreds of entries and has provided council with a viewpoint from the eyes all ages.
“The images and captions represent our community’s hopes and dreams for the future of the Sunshine Coast,” Cr McKay said. “The diversity in imagery demonstrates the passion for preserving the Sunshine Coast and its unique character and identity.”
The winning entry: “In 2030 I hope to see the dawn of a new era where we share ourselves by moving into community and connecting” by Hannah Coyle, St John’s College, Nambour Year 12 student, features in the exhibition.The Draft Sunshine Coast Community Plan is currently on display in Gallery 3. Feedback forms are also available for members of the community to share their comments.The other exhibition, Show Us Your Art: Volunteer Showcase presents the hidden talents of galleryvolunteers from both Noosa and Caloundra Regional Galleries.
“The artworks in the exhibition are just as diverse as the backgrounds of our volunteers, from painting and drawing to ceramics and textiles,” she said.
A number of engaging public programs will be run as part of this exhibition, including a People’s Choice Award.
The winning artist from this award will present an informative floor talk during a morning tea at Art over Coffee on Saturday, February 26, at 11am. Tickets are $5.
