We are thrilled to announce that the Sunshine Coast creative community is getting right behind our campaign to Save Yaroomba from a huge high-rise development. 100 works of art, including many from leading Coast artists, have been donated to our Art and Artisans’ Silent Auction on Saturday November 28.

Artworks include valuable paintings, prints, mixed media, pottery and more for this one night only event at the North Shore Community Centre, Mudjimba. Contributing artists include Colin Passmore, Tony Coles, Paul Harbour, Blair McNamara, Katie Wells, Susan Schmidt, Michael Pugh, Clive Holden, Brian Tisdall, and many more.

This exclusive event is a major fundraiser for the Save Yaroomba campaign. All funds raised will help pay the legal costs to prepare for a Supreme Court Appeal against Sunshine Coast Council and global property giant Sekisui House. The campaign is to prevent an overbearing, high-rise urban development, and preserve the lifestyle for local residents and the creatures that live and nest on this beachside land just south of Coolum.

Live music for the evening includes popular professional duo Trish and Kit with their smooth blend of jazz, pop, blues and rock. Also guest appearances by Louella and Trish’s choir, A Choired Taste. Delicious dinners will be on sale for $10 each with a choice of Asian or Mediterranean flavours.

At a silent auction each piece of art has a clipboard next to it. You use your entry number to write your anonymous bid price on the clipboard. Doors to view the exhibition open at 6pm and announcement of the highest bidders will commence at 7.30 pm. Eftpos purchases are welcome.

Each ticket provides the right to bid and a complimentary glass of wine, bubbles or beer. Due to Covid restrictions at the venue, the number of people able to attend will be limited.
