Each monthly market will showcase a particular artist.

At least 22 artists have  their work on display for this inaugural event.

Noosa is a haven for creativity and artists have been waiting for some time to have such  a brilliant venue to exhibit their art.All forms of artwork- painting, sculpture,glassware, pottery and ceramics will be on display.
