Skate artist 'Kasper' on deck for Gallery kids' program

Art meets surf these school holidays as Noosa Regional Gallery celebrates its current exhibition 25 Years of Stoke, Noosa Festival of Surfing Jubilee with nine custom kids’ workshops.

Prolific Brisbane street artist and designer, Kasper is headed north on the first of April for two skate deck design holiday workshops at Noosa Regional Gallery.

Known for his continuous line illustration, vivid colour combinations and tireless work ethic, Kasper’s public pieces have featured in the likes of Brisbane Street Art Festival and last year’s Unframed Project at Coolum.

Clay surfboard shaping, sand casting and ‘beach find’ crafts also feature in the kids’ program, each Wednesday and Thursday through the school holidays.

Stoked about Waves and Water is an interactive insight into the gallery’s current exhibitions;  Waves and Water – Australian Beach photography and the Noosa Festival of Surfing’s 25th Anniversary exhibition, 25 years of Stoke.
