North Stradbroke Island is Queensland’s best kept secret. Where else can you find such an abundance of wildlife, endless beaches and unsurpassed natural beauty, right on Brisbane’s doorstep?
It is the ideal haven for those seeking an unspoiled paradise for a weekend away and our ART ESCAPES will provide guests with an ever changing canvas on which to capture their impressions.
We will guide you on an adventure through varying landscapes, so that your experience of the Island is complete. Every aspect has a different light, a unique quality, a diverse perspective.
You will experience the tranquility of the fresh water lakes, the power of the ocean crashing into the headland, and the sleepy seaside village atmosphere of Moreton Bay.
Our guest art tutors bring with them a lifetime of experience in their area of expertise and will share some of their secrets with you! We specialize in painting in water colours and acrylics.
Over the course of the weekend you will not only visit some of the Island's most beautiful vantage points, but you will dine on the region’s finest seafood and sample the local fare.
Your ART ESCAPE is designed as a total experience, embracing all the beauty of North Stradbroke Island, whilst enhancing your artistic ability.
Your weekend will include on many occasions, an invitation to the opening night of exhibitions by established artists at our Coral Sea Gallery. Guests are welcome to exhibit any artwork they produce in the gallery at the completion of the course.
You will be wined and dined in style at our local restaurants by night and given the utmost care and attention from our tutors by day. Your final evening sees you taking in the spectacular Straddie sunset and toasting your artistic success at a farewell seafood barbecue.
