Warrnambool | A City for Living

Coaster Art Show

Warrnambool’s much-loved Coaster Art Show is back in 2026, bringing a fun community-powered celebration of local creativity to The F Project main gallery from 22 August to 13 September. 

The Coaster Art Show invites people of all ages and experience levels to create original artworks on small coaster-sized surfaces (95mm diameter). 

The playful format is designed to make art-making less intimidating, more accessible and a lot of fun — whether someone is an experienced artist, a first-time exhibitor, a young person, or someone who has always wanted to have a go. 

The exhibition is returning by popular demand! 

Local residents, visitors and art lovers will be able to enjoy hundreds of small original works that showcase the depth, diversity and generosity of Warrnambool and the wider south-west creative community. 

The Coaster Art Show makes it easy for everyone to take part. 

Entry is just $5 per coaster, or $2 for people under 18, and exhibition attendance is free. 

Visitors will have the chance to purchase these original artworks, with all artwork sale proceeds going directly to the artist.

 Community members are encouraged to enter, visit, bring friends and celebrate the return of a local creative event that has become part of Warrnambool’s artistic identity. 

Submit your entry to The F Project by the 1st of August, 2026!
