SUNSHINE COAST ART & DESIGN FAIR
Flaxton Gardens, Sunshine Coast, Queensland
22-23 November 2025
Sat 9am-7pm / Sun 9am-3pm
Queensland Artisan Festival and Events, under the banner of MADE Sunshine Coast, is thrilled to host this exciting new artisan event at Flaxton Gardens — a celebration of creativity, fine food and wine in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
This pre-Christmas showcase features a curated selection of artists and designers, each presenting their work in dedicated ArtSpaces throughout the venue. Guests can explore a small exhibition in the restaurant, while the halls buzz with vibrant displays, artist talks and live demonstrations.
Enjoy freshly prepared breakfast and lunch offerings and indulge in a special curated dinner menu on Saturday evening — all crafted by Chef Alan Thompson and his talented culinary team. The venue is licensed, so a bar will be available and guests are invited to sip, shop and savour the experience.
This event is all about slow enjoyment — taking time to appreciate each artist’s work, delight in gourmet food and drink, and soak in the spectacular views that make Flaxton Gardens so unique.
Join us for a weekend of art, inspiration and indulgence.
Below is a taste of some of the artwork I will have with me on the weekend.
Finch pots are beautiful, original mini-sculptural vessels, often mosaiced and many with gold lustre.
All feature one or two little finches chatting on the rim.
