The many FACETS of community, reflected through art

At ARTSHOP Toowoomba, we often reflect on what it means to be part of a creative, vibrant and connected community. So the word 'facet' resonates deeply with us — it refers to one of the many sides of something greater, a point of reflection, or a polished surface of a gem crafted to catch the light.

We are inspired by how our customers reflect the many facets of our community — its stories, voices, people, places, and perspectives.

From collectors whose lives are enriched by original works of art and craft, to the artists who bring these creations to life, and the treasured objects families entrust us to preserve, we celebrate the ways art connects us to our experiences, emotions, and memories.

This is why we were proud to once again sponsor the 2025 Fairholme Open Art Prize – FACETS, an exhibition that places artists and community at its heart.

Now in its ninth year, this local yet far-reaching exhibition brought together carefully curated works by artists from our region, across the country, and beyond.

We were thrilled to stand alongside fellow sponsors, organisers, volunteers, judges, and, of course, our wonderful artists in supporting this important community event.

We hope, and look forward to, seeing you all again in 2026.
