Sondra Grainger
A lovely fresh space with a small but colourful gift shop filled with beautiful pieces from Sunshine Coast artists. The Wildflowering by Design exhibition was well curated & the staff are so helpful too. A great spot to visit, soak up some creativity & enjoy a few minutes in the garden setting out front.
Nancy Duncan

This place has a new exhibit nearly every month, and I enjoyed it so much over the last few years that I joined Friends Regional Gallery Caloundra, they have great events, invitations to launches, etc. This gallery is the best on the coast by far and it’s free, can’t beat that. Volunteers are so friendly too, you always get a nice chat and a smile 😊

Had a great time today visiting Rex Bachaus-Smith's art exhibition at the Caloundra Regional gallery. I am a bit biased I know being the grandson of the artist but it was phenomenal to see all of my pop's artwork over the last 60 years on display for everyone to enjoy and appreciate. Thank you Caloundra Regional Gallery for organising such a great event!
