Meet the Artists Behind the Art
The Coolum Art Collective is a carefully curated group of artists from the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas.
Our members have been selected for the quality and individuality of their work. Prospective members are interviewed and their artwork reviewed before being invited to join the Collective. Our members include award-winning artists alongside emerging talents who are building exciting artistic careers.
The result is a small, focused group with a consistently high standard of original art.

Art That Is Local. Original. Personal.
Why Buy Original Art?
Original artwork brings individuality, warmth and personality to your home. Unlike mass-produced prints, every piece is unique and carries the story, skill and vision of the artist who created it. Buying directly from local artists supports creativity within our Sunshine Coast community.
Art by the Beach
On special occasions, the Coolum Art Collective presents a unique open-air Beach Gallery on the Esplanade at Coolum Beach, near the Coolum Surf Club.
There is something particularly appropriate about discovering original art beside the ocean – especially when many of the artists draw inspiration from the beaches, landscapes and coastal environment of the Sunshine Coast.
