It’s been a busy year at Coolum HeARTs with the local not for profit offering many low-cost art and lifestyle classes to the community, especially those with life challenges from their beautifully renovated shed located on the corner of Sunrise Ave and Elizabeth St. We met up with the Monday morning art class for their second last class of the year to see the amazing work they have been producing.

HeARTS at the Twilight Markets
The Coolum Twilight markets have started and are held each Friday afternoon and into the evening in Tickle Park until January 17. Coolum HeARTs has a fundraising stall there with all profits going back into the not-for-profit in order for them to provide their low-cost art and lifestyle courses and classes. Be sure to drop by the markets and say hi!
If you would like to support Coolum HeARTs you can catch them each Thursday selling raffle tickets at the Coolum Hotel from 4.30 – 5.30pm. They have a meat tray, seafood voucher and food vouchers from the Hotel on offer. Alternatively, you can get in touch via their website and sign up to their mailing list for information on their 2025 activities and classes and they are always in need of more volunteers – www.coolumhearts.com.au
