October Exhibition Guide
Here it is! Our list of all the upcoming Exhibitions in the region for the month of October
I Love Goombungee! celebrates the unique character and charm of the Goombungee area, and features works from artists across the Region that capture the essence of this special town. From photography to landscapes and textiles, it invites visitors to discover quiet laneways and the residents who live there, the purple haze of Jacaranda-lined streets, and the deep connection to local places and spaces that reminds us to relish the moment.
Local artist Sharon Forbes presents an exhibition celebrating the allure of contemporary handcrafted jewellery as a form of artistic expression. Sharon repurposes precious metals, stones and Australian timbers into unique designs that transcend mere adornment to become wearable art.
The Lindsay Collection was established by William and Marion Bolton in Toowoomba in the 1950s. It was officially opened by Prime Minister Robert Menzies in 1959 and has been housed at Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery since 1994.
Guided by the collection’s namesake Sir Lionel Lindsay and his brother Sir Daryl Lindsay, the Boltons acquired works by ‘Masters of Australian painting’ (Bill Bolton letter to Sir Lionel, 1 July 1957). The Lindsays were eminent artists and Sir Daryl was Director of the National Gallery of Victoria 1941-1956.
