Take a leisurely Sunday Drive to Caloundra Regional Gallery and across the region
Caloundra Regional Gallery takes you on a Sunday Drive through vistas of green and blue when its latest exhibition goes on display from 6 February to 23 March 2014 .
The works in the Sunday Drive exhibition are drawn from the Sunshine Coast Art Collection which celebrates the local artists and landmarks that characterise our beautiful region.
All are welcome to attend a special picnic in the park to mark the exhibition’s official opening by Division 2 Councillor Tim Dwyer, on Sunday 9 February at 11.30am.
So organise your group of family and friends today, bring your own picnic and enjoy the free entertainment at Felicity Park - outside the Caloundra Regional Gallery.
Open Studios and Galleries Tour
And the fun doesn’t stop there.

Studios across the region will be open on Sunday 2 March from 10am to 4pm. An official Sunday Drive trail is available from the Arts Connect website complete with gallery locations and further details.
