40 Under 40

The Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre is kicking off the year with the highly anticipated 40 Under 40 Exhibition and Art Prize. Opening its doors on January 12, the exhibition will showcase 40 of the Sunshine Coast’s most exciting artists under the age of 40. 

Thanks to their sponsors, LANTANA Space, artisan and the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society, they are offering some great art prizes to the top 2D and 3D artists, as well as a People’s Choice award, voted by visitors.

This exhibition has garnered a reputation for building a community of young artists and introducing them to the Sunshine Coast and beyond. The diversity of work in the show welcomes all art enthusiasts; from first-time gallery visitors to those looking to expand, or start, their art collection. 

This exhibition is proudly supported by Noosa Council and Sunshine Coast Council. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council and Sunshine Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

The exhibition runs from January 12 - February 25, 2024, and it’s free to enter.
