Wow! Us Curious Creators are so blown away with how much connection and inspiration blossomed from hosting our Online Art Exhibition this September!
We hosted 12 local Artists who showcased 25 Artworks created in a range of mediums including Acrylic, Watercolour & we even had a Short Film entry.
Opening Night Zoom Event Our Online Opening Night Event was an absolute delight! Our Exhibiting Artists went through their creative processes and we had a Q&A with participants. We were absolutely buzzing and felt so inspired! Such an incredible way to spend a night in.

Due to The Central Coast's continued restrictions, we decided to pursue holding our event in an Online Format instead of hosting it in person. We managed to overcome challenges and learnt so much about this new way of connecting. We are so proud of ourselves, the Artists & the participants who came on this journey with us and also challenged themselves with perhaps a new way of engaging and learning.
Online Zoom Workshops During the Two Week Online Art Exhibition, we hosted a bunch of workshops hosted by local Creatives.
Saturday mornings we partnered with 'Free Art Mornings' which were full of open, encouraging and uplifting conversations whilst we worked on our own creative pieces.

Our Second week, we created some amazing needle felted 'Mushroom Goddesses' with 'NaughtyCourty Creations'. naughtycourtyreations.com
