A guide to Horizon festival by thom stuart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We asked Australian painter Thom Stuart what he’s heading to at Horizon Festival this year. Thom\u2019s art practice is concerned with the observed landscape and the presence of human behaviours within it. It\u2019s textured, colourful, and technical \u2014 he creates meaningful work which has an inherent underlying visual beauty to it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thom knows what’s up \u2014 so, follow this guide closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the secret amateur photographers raise their hands. It\u2019s safe to say I didn\u2019t start a podcast in lockdown, but I did buy a camera. While still trying to figure it out, mainly by watching YouTube videos, the thought of a photography show a bike ride away from my house in Moffat Beach is highly appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you are neither here nor there: Sam cranstoun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The range and quality of the shows curated by the UniSC Gallery and Hamish are always impressive. If anyone is familiar with Sam\u2019s work, this is a must-see exhibition in my book. Plus extra points for any exhibition with a Ken Done reference, research-based or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skateboard art workshop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first forays into the art world were painted skateboard shows, so this will always have my heart. It\u2019s ageless and timeless and provides an accessible and empty canvas for anyone creative. Fat Dog claims to transcend the mundane through creation at this event, so that sounds pretty good to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonsensual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you see Jordan Burnett\u2019s show in Noosa last year? It was great. If this event is any indication, you can be sure this show will hold no punches. Plus, it\u2019s always good to see some truth-telling through the spectrum of bright colours and illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sunrises have been insane this year. There is something special about the first rays of the day on the coast, plus to add a rich cultural understanding to this. No doubt this event will create a true sense of place and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature promotes Horizon Festival’s upcoming annual event. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizon Festival \u2014 the Sunshine Coast\u2019s premier multi-arts festival \u2014 returns 25 August to 3 September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10-day offering takes place all over the Sunshine Coast \u2014 beaches, the hinterland, warehouses. The lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our core: we celebrate place \u2014 it\u2019s the heartbeat of the festival \u2014 and our programming reflects this.  But, more importantly, we honour the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we stand \u2014 the Kabi Kabi Peoples and Jinibara Peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our events vary. And they\u2019re (almost) always in spectacular locations. There\u2019s music, art, theatre, dance, workshops, ceremony, and plenty for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, pop the kettle on, put your feet up, and enjoy flicking through this year\u2019s program<\/a> \u2014 we\u2019d love to see you at an event.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you on the horizon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
