Exhibit In Your Local Gallery

Tablelands Regional Council is inviting expressions of interest (EOIs) for 2025 exhibitions in their three galleries.

‘Groups and individuals can apply to exhibit in the Tableland Regional Gallery, Old Post Office Gallery and Foyer Gallery,’ said General Manager Community and Corporate Services, Hilary Jackson.

‘We’re keen to see EOIs from new individuals and groups, and we encourage local artists and those from outside our region to apply,’ Ms Jackson said.

Artist Linda Bates says sharing her work with other artists and the community has been a wonderful experience in many ways.

‘I recently shared the exhibition Birds and Things with local artist Graeme Draper at the Tablelands Regional Gallery.

‘The process of developing your thoughts into artworks for your exhibition really challenges your brain — it is a chance to step up and do your best work.

‘Making an exhibition encourages personal discipline as you have a timeline for completing your works, and I was really happy that support was available with every step.

‘From a practical point of view, there was plenty of help available on opening night, and the volunteers who open the gallery are very welcoming.

‘Watching Birds and Things being set up by the hanging team was also a beautiful part of the experience as pieces were moved around to make each one look perfect.

‘I intend to apply for another exhibition at the Tableland Regional Gallery, as for me it was a highly successful experience,’ Ms Bates said.

EOIs must be received by 5pm Tuesday 30 April and exhibition, gallery and application information is available at trc.qld.gov.au/galleries.
