February Exhibition Guide
Here it is! Our list of all the upcoming Exhibitions in the region for the month of February

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.
Known for his social documentary photography, John Elliott’s portraits of Australian icons and country music legends celebrate the lives and passions of people across this country.
A consummate storyteller, John has been photographing the people and places of regional Australia for fifty years.
Drawing on themes of materiality; process, repetition, biology and personal narratives, artists Vivien Bedwell, Renee Kire, Clare Poppi, Hannaneh Qiumarsi, Katie Stormonth and Rebekah Walkarden explore differing perspectives of 'reproduction' through a variety of mediums from contemporary wearable pieces to small sculptural objects in their exhibition Contemplations of Reproduction.
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.
Australian artist Sir Lionel Lindsay once invoked "the strange alchemy of Fate.' Alchemy means, among other things, transforming base elements into gold.
For one reviewer, 'Lindsay, by an alchemy of his own, plucks light from the air and plants it on paper.' After his death in 1961, Lindsay's brother Daryl wrote, 'His studio was like a 16th century Alchemist's den.'
