Bookings include unique exhibitions

Local flavour: Northern Landscapes: Six Viewpoints An important focus of the Gallery’s Permanent Collection is the representation of landscape by artists from the region or those visiting the region of far north Queensland. Through these artists’ eyes we can develop new connections with and interpretations of the landscape that surrounds us and explore issues of place, identity and belonging. With works by Danie Mellor, Fred Williams, Noel Wood & Valerie Albiston, Rosella Namok, Anneke Silver and Ray Crooke.

International Film series: Xapiri is an experimental film by two artists, Gisela Motta and Leandro Lima, who live and work in São Paulo, Brazil. Xapiri is a surreal journey into the heart of Yanomami shamanism. The film is designed to have two different notions of the image - the Yanomami and ours. It does not try to explain shamanism, rather it visualises the way shamans incorporate the xapiri within their bodies to give them form and voice.

Collection in focus: Reimagining: Between Tradition and Innovation highlights the work of Indigenous artists from the Gallery’s Collection. The exhibition highlights the significance of legacy in contemporary Indigenous art, where the generational transmission of cultural knowledge across time and place informs innovation and is intrinsic to artistic practice.

Touring Exhibition: Made / Worn: Australian Contemporary Jewellery explores the act of making jewellery, from intimate pieces to large-scale objects. All works in the exhibition are designed to be worn - to adorn and embellish the body and to be a vehicle for personal expression. Jewellery has been defined as an act of art, craft and design, which lives and breathes on the bodies of those who wear it. This is a visually exciting exhibition that showcases some of the most striking, personal, conceptual and beautiful items of contemporary jewellery and body adornment being made in Australia today.
