‘HAPPY’ Hosted by 19 KAREN & The Sofitel Hotel Gold Coast

Let’s get HAPPY with 19 Karen Contemporary Artspace as they share some incredible work from over 45 International and Australian artists. Each artist was asked to create a work around what makes them happy, and Gallery Director Terri Lew is hoping that in the process, their work will bring a little happiness to us all. If you are feeling like a pick me up, then you don’t want to miss this show, it surely will leave you feeling exactly as intended!

Set in the wonderful surroundings of The Sofitel Luxury Hotel, 19 Karen Contemporary Artspace will present you with a group exhibition not to missed. With a diverse range of contemporary and cutting edge art that promises to explore what makes us “Happy”.

 19 Karen Contemporary Artspace’s group exhibition HAPPY is a bright, upbeat offering in a world that is sometimes a little dark. What makes you Happy?

“When I thought about our next group, I knew I had to come up with a fun, happy title because we always have fun when the Sofitel Hotel hosts our group shows and everyone walks away happy.The year 2015 was full of unhappy world events and so to create a positive and happy vibe for 2016, I thought why not keep it simple and call our group show HAPPY? So I asked the artists participating in the show to create artwork that best describes what makes them happy. The results, as you can see, differ from artists to artist. Hopefully their statement explains in more detail what makes them happy.” ~19 Karen Contemporary Artspace Director. Terri Lew
