The Sunshine Coast is home to many quality art galleries who showcase the work of leading local, national and international artists and craftspeople.  Visiting the hinterland behind the coastal strip, visitors will experience the unique and innovative work of the many creative people who live in the region, attracted by its beauty and lifestyle. The range of skills and materials used offer opportunities for visitors to purchase special holiday mementoes through to major investment pieces.

The region's artists are well known for their jewellery, but almost all mediums are represented. Expect to find works in glass, pottery and timber, as well as sculptural and art works. It's all right here on the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast Art Trail offers an opportunity to explore the culture and character of the region in gorgeous regional towns.

Why not add another dimension to your exploration by including a vineyard and restaurant into your day's meandering. The trail will take you from the coastal plains into lush hinterland forest and the dramatic peaks of the Glasshouse Mountains.  Take the Tourist Drive into charming hinterland towns of Maleny, Montville, Eumundi and Landsborough.

The Sunshine Coast wine region is one of the most diverse and fastest growing wine regions in Queensland. Plus, the area is home to many award winning restaurants, both on the coast and up into the hinterland.
