Some of the Curious

"It's been an honour to be a part of the curious movement and I treasure that my artistic journey started there!" Gillian

the gathering of the curious in the summer of 2001

Brett Coomber arrived first at the Kingscliff Hotel Beer Garden on a hot summer afternoon in January 2001.

No one knew who would come or how many. We hoped East Writer, Libby Mills, Ness Bryant, Michael Bryant, Camille Bryant and Larraine Bryant would show as they called the meeting. Within half an hour over 20 people showed up. Art workers looking for a home.

The rest is history with nearly 50 different artists becoming involved with Curious Art Cooperative Ltd. and holding over 70 new exhibitions from 2001 - 2010. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the curious art movement. It is a dream realized yet not just a memory...it is a work in progress!

These artists are some of the founding members who were there at the beginning. In the summer of 2000 expressions of interests were sent to artists in the Tweed region and beyond.

"Let's get serious and open our own Gallery!" East made this now famous remark during one of the late night art weekends. East, Michael, Vanessa, Libby and Larraine would get together imaging they were part some of turn of the 19th century obsure art movements.

They had a vision, they had a dream. Curious Art was really conceived on that historic night. Thanks East!
