Citrus Art Central

My name is Susie Capewell and I’m the owner of “Citrus Art Central”. As a Fine Art graphite and pastel artist wanting to exhibit and expand my own art business, I am also passionate about my community and love supporting fellow Creatives in their endeavours. Commission based retail can be difficult to manage and markets can be depressing when you are competing with stallholders who deal in imported, inferior products but who seem to be making money regardless of the quality. Online selling is difficult unless you have an IT degree. “Off the Shelf” will be a contemporary boutique shop for local Creatives to exhibit and sell their work; whilst offering customers a unique shopping experience by providing high-quality handmade articles directly from talented, original makers.
To celebrate our local citrus industry which is the economic backbone of our community the shops “Citrus” theme will take customers on a invigorative journey into the citrus world tantalising all their senses. I am looking for items as diverse as the people who made them. From handcrafted quirky jewellery, citrus scented candles, orange spiced teas to funky beanies and tea cosies.

When you buy an item “Off the Shelf” you will be directly supporting North Burnett artisans.
“Citrus Art Central” will also be offering fun and engaging artist-led classes utilising the workshop space beginning with “Susie C” Fine Art drawing workshops for both children and adults and expanding to include other experts in their creative field from Watercolour and Acrylic Painting, to Mosaics and jewellery making offering you the opportunity to learn from the best. I will also be offering weekend children's creative classes and School Holiday Programs to provide the perfect outlet for creativity for children and teens.
