Illuminate
Presented in collaboration with W.I.N.D.O
IMAGE (L - R): Work details by Lizzie Connor; Ann Gustavsson; Margaret Builder; Yanni van Zijl; Rosie Lloyd-Gilbert.
A handpicked exhibition showcasing the works of female artists based in the Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Gympie Regions.
Over 12 months in the making, 'Illuminate' is a first collaboration for BFAC and W.I.N.D.O ( Women Initiating New Directions* ), platforming our region's female creatives and in sync with International Women's Day & Queensland Women's Week.
Each piece is presented in response to the broader subject:
Contemporary Landscapes of Women Imagined
'Illuminate' features paintings, sculpture, new media installation and film chosen for their conceptual connection to theme.
The subject invites commentary on the social, cultural or political landscapes that inform the artists' lives as women.
*Women Initiating New Directions Organization (WINDO) Inc. is a volunteer-run not for profit group based on the Sunshine Coast. WINDO aims to create positive social and cultural change through a powerful, inspiring and educational combination of thought leadership and the arts. Find out more, here
This project is supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Shire Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland."

XX Factor
Sunshine Coast Potters go BIG!

SIXTEEN Sunshine Coast ceramicists go large for this invitational exhibition run in conjunction with International Women's Day and WINDO and co-curated by Nicci Parry Jones.

'XX factor' removes typical constraints placed on Hinterland ceramicists by inviting these artists to create works of scale and gusto - each piece measures at least 50cm - 60cm in either direction.
This exhibition shines a light on the extraordinary talent of our region’s women ceramic artists.
We're excited to reveal an insight into their unique passion and creativity.
