An artistic adventure trail awaits with Open Studios

The Sunshine Coast’s thriving creative community takes centre stage once again as Open Studios Sunshine Coast returns from Friday, May 16 to Sunday, May 25.

Presented by Art Connect Inc, this much-loved event invites art lovers on self-guided tours through six distinct regions—from the hinterland to the coast—offering a rare glimpse into the studios of local artists.

The first weekend showcases the Foothills, Maleny, and Montville trails, while the second shifts focus to Caloundra, Central, and Northern areas. Visitors can meet artists, watch live demonstrations, purchase original works, and take part in interactive workshops.

New in 2025, Pop Up Studios will feature eight artists across two weekends at the Old Ambulance Station in Nambour and the Caloundra Regional Gallery’s Annexe space.

You can also explore the Meander 25 group exhibition from May 14 in Nambour to preview this year’s talent.
