Display your artwork

Are you a Sunshine Coast resident looking to display your artwork? Emerging and established local artists are invited to complete an application to exhibit at Libraries. Sunshine Coast Libraries offer a free display space with no commission taken on artwork sold.

Exhibitions can include paintings, illustrations, documentary/historical photographs, architectural images, craft, jewellery, fashion/textiles and more.   

Information for artists 

Each expression of interest will be assessed to consider:

• The quality of the work submitted
• If the artwork is ready for display and meets community standards
• If the artwork is the original work of the artist
• Availability of the preferred library's display space

Exhibitions are scheduled throughout the year. Applicants will be contacted by the selected libraries once the expression of interest has been received.
