Here it is! Our list of all the upcoming Exhibitions in the region for the month of April
"Skyways" an exhibition by Australian ceramic artist and Churchill Fellow, Shannon Garson, is an immersive exhibition featuring a new body of porcelain and drawings. Inspired by migratory bird patterns, clouds, and the sky, "Skyways" plays on the term "flyway," referring to the flight paths used by birds during migration. Shannon's work integrates bird migration patterns, John Constable's cloud studies, star maps, and nephology—the science of clouds—into a captivating collection. Her signature finely thrown porcelain forms are adorned with masterful drawings that sweep across three-dimensional surfaces, inviting viewers into her unique vision.
FREE ADMISSION | GALLERY OPEN: Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am – 3.30pm | Closed Monday, Tuesday & Public Holidays
Billy Missi’n Wakain Thamai brings together over fifty of the artist’s most significant and iconic prints, including rare and never-before-exhibited monoprints, etchings, and linoprints from Djumbunji Fine Art Press and private collections. Curated by Dr Russell Milledge, this retrospective was developed in close consultation with the Billy Missi Estate, family members and friends, highlighting Missi’s critical role in the emergence of Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait) printmaking as a contemporary art form.
The Billy Missi’n Wakain Thamai exhibition honours Missi’s artistic legacy and his dedication to maintaining the language and culture of his people. The bilingual exhibition features diverse forms of printmaking and a film, presenting an immersive experience into contemporary Torres Strait Islander culture and customs. Audiences will gain a deep appreciation for Missi’s work, reflecting his way of life, traditions, and enduring legacy.
Ablaze with colour, cool in melancholy or ripe for serene reflection, the autumn of life is the summit of maturity and a stage of decline and fall. This exhibition conveys some of the tones, moods and emotions associated with autumn.
Chasing Soft Shadows by Elizabeth Lawson-Zell explores the link between humanity, nature and wellbeing in a series of works created from repurposed paper. Natural dyes and fragments from foraged dried flowers, leaves and other dried organic matter are imbued into the paper constructions.
Missing Title is a visual discussion between local artists, Angela Mottram and Natasha Wills, exploring the current LANDscape of things in general through this mixed media exhibition.
Although stylistically different, the ideas of belonging or not belonging, and personal relationships to location run though both bodies of work.
Step into the captivating world of Ellis Rowan, a trailblazing 19th-century Australian botanical artist whose breathtaking watercolours and solo expeditions pushed the boundaries of art and exploration.
This exhibition highlights Rowan's remarkable travels from 1880 to 1910, taking you on a journey from Rockhampton to the Torres Strait and Papua New Guinea, through extraordinary paintings, sketches, diary entries, and photographs.
Experience the beauty and detail of Rowan’s work through 28 original watercolour paintings depicting plants and flowers, paired with objects from the Queensland Museum Collection that explore how First Nations peoples used these plants in everyday life.
This exhibition explores a visual conversation between contemporary landscape artists and plein air partners, Cynthia Copley and Amy Stapleton, whose friendship afforded opportunities to explore a myriad of landscapes in South East Queensland that previously felt out of reach. The artists gathered studies en plein air then created large scale works in their respective studios.
