Kenilworth Celebrates! Arts Festival is fast becoming the biggest Art Festival in Queensland.
 The tiny town [population 260] in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland now runs for nine days and includes all the ingredients of great entertainment for the entire family. Only an easy 1.5 hour drive from Brisbane, a day in Kenilworth and the beautiful Mary valley is a great experience for young and old alike.
The theme “Great Art and Good Fun Go Hand in Hand” attracts the best Tutors in Australia and 100 artists to the 4 day classes. The students range from beginners to professional artists and are attracted from all around Australia.
People come back every year for the Art and the Fun. There are 4 exhibitions in 2010 including the $15,000 Kenilworth Art Prize, The $2,000 LGI/KAC Trophy for the overall winner of the seven $500 categories of the general exhibition, A WORLD OF WILDLIFE exhibition run by QWASI and the Bikers Exhibition.

We are especially privileged this year to have the Kenilworth Celebrates! “A World of Wildlife” exhibition by Queensland Wildlife Arts Society artists. You can watch a QWASI artist painting demonstration on 25-26 & 29 September. President Sandra Temple has drawn up a canvas for a “Community Painting” and every person who attends this exhibition will be welcome to contribute a part. The Community painting will be auctioned at 5.30pm Friday 1 October.
We also welcome the involvement of LGI [Landfill Gas Management] who will give a $2,000 cash prize for the work that the judges deem to be the best of the winners of the seven general categories in the LGI/ KAC Art Competition. This competition usually has up to 300 entries. A trophy made by Noosa Artist, Peter Farkus will be presented to the winner of this Competition.
Everybody has a great time at. the Tutors Bar B Q at Bellbird Creek and the Sunshine Coast 40 piece Symphony Orchestra Concert.
