Creative Hearts Art is an inspired art space for artists and art lovers to gather and explore creativity together. Contemporary local Scenic Rim and Gold Coast artists’ work is showcased through curated exhibitions and creative events. Stay tuned for news on the 2025 Scenic Rim Art Festival. 

After five years on the bustling Gold Coast, hosting 54 exhibitions 2019-2025, the Creative Hearts Art team moved both online and into the beautiful countryside on the thriving Scenic Rim, Queensland, where you’ll find practical workshops, online courses, in-person retreats, lively art discussions, and an empowered global network of CREATIVE HEARTS ARTISTS. Creativity belongs to us all. Who doesn’t love talking about the beauty of art?!

Founded in 2019 by the Creative Hearts board, Wendy Manzo, Natasha Castelijn, and Sonia Farrel, and joined by Julie Coulson in 2024, Creative Hearts Art blends together over 40 years of professional painting experience. We were an early proponent of championing the emerging artist and supporting globally influenced, culturally diverse ‘rising stars’. Inaugurated in 2023, the Creative Hearts Art Emerging Artists Awards were established online to promote upcoming artists around the world, provide connection between potential buyers, art collectors, curators, and new artists in the field of fine arts, and honour the pioneering creative spirit in us all. Artists of all genres are welcome to enter. LEARN MORE about the Emerging Artists Awards Shows.
