The Access, Education and Regional Services department provides a vital link between the Gallery and the wider community. It is the role of this section to develop a comprehensive range of interpretive programs that encourage an engagement with contemporary culture. A key aim is to ensure that the Gallery is accessible and inclusive to diverse audiences, and that the Collection is promoted widely. A dynamic program of travelling exhibitions is offered to regional Queensland communities via the Gallery's Regional Services program.
Design your own Tour is an interactive and fun way for teachers to meet curriculum objectives and engage students in a new approach to visiting the Gallery. The online resource allows teachers to select from Collection works on display and customise their tours of the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art. Tour brochures and teacher notes include images, art work information, maps, discussion points and extension activities.
