Be inspired by Caloundra

City of artists and artisans. Home to musicians, sculptors, painters, ceramicists and performers of every description, Caloundra City is a region that warmly receives those who seek to be inspired.

Art exhibitions and competitions are held year-round.
The Caloundra Regional Art Gallery is one of the most energetic in the country as demonstrated by the quality of its local and touring exhibitions.

The Caloundra Cultural Centre hosts a variety of world-class theatre shows, concerts and dance events. Both venues are in the heart of Caloundra just off Bulcock Street where you can browse amongst the leafy main street shops or enjoy a latte and light lunch at one of the many great cafés.

Caloundra is more than just a favourite beach retreat in summer. Year round it offers memorable cultural events including the Maleny Festival of the Senses in September, which features the Maleny Teapot show. The Maleny Wood Expo in May, the Maleny Art Awards in June and the Caloundra City Art Festival in September.

Attending a unique event also offers the opportunity to visit the region’s outstanding fine art galleries and studios. Be enticed by the range of work from paintings to sculptures, ceramics to hand blown glass, unique leather masks, hand-painted silks and handcrafted furniture.

While almost anywhere you travel across Caloundra, you will also hear music playing. Sit back and listen to a live band in a club, buskers in the markets or concerts.
