Gallery invitation to artists
ARTISTS are being invited to apply to have an exhibition in one of Tablelands Regional Council’s three galleries for 2026.
Groups and individuals can now apply to exhibit in the Tableland Regional Gallery, Old Post Office Gallery and Foyer Gallery next year.
“We’re keen to see applications from artists and curators at all stages of their practice and from across our diverse Tablelands community,” Mayor Rod Marti said.
Marnie Hutchinson Awram’s exhibition “Quiet” was displayed at Tableland Regional Gallery in 2024 and she is encouraging others to follow in her footsteps.
“Exhibiting at Tableland Regional Gallery was a fabulous opportunity for myself as an artist to build my confidence, networks and sense of place, after moving to the Tablelands a few years ago,” she said.
“I chose to explore our landscape and how we interact with the pristine wilderness in this region.
“The ideation process involved walking into these areas and translating what I experienced into the narrative of storytelling in my artworks.
“This built a great connection for me and helped me feel embedded and engaged with the local area.
“The feedback I received goes a long way to building my confidence as an artist and the bigger connection that we are contributing something to the collective stories of our community.
“Along the way, I built friendships and was supported by some wonderful people in the art community.
“The Galleries Officer and very professional install team made my experience seamless and fun.”
Applications for the 2026 year must be received by 5pm on 30 April and exhibition, gallery and application information is available at trc.qld.gov.au/galleries.
