bookend this program. To begin Olafur Eliasson’s,
The cubic structural evolution project 2004 contains 300

During May as part of Queensland’s 150 th Celebrations,
Queensland Firsts and Our Queensland have come from
the Queensland State Archives, Queensland’s largest
and most significant collection of documentary
heritage. In June the Gallery features some of the
region’s finest artists. Three unique exhibitions
involving six local artists reinforce the depth of artistic
expertise on the Sunshine Coast.
ReCoil explores contemporary Indigenous fibre art.
Toured by Artback NT and fresh from the National
Museum of Australia, Caloundra offers the only
Queensland venue for the exhibition.
Following the ever surprising Sunshine Coast Art Prize is
a retrospective exhibition that celebrates the Art & Life
of well known artist and tutor Brian Allison.
