Exhibitions on tour in regional Queensland
Regional services
The Gallery is committed to extending the reach of its Collection, exhibitions and programs to all Queenslanders, regardless of geographical location. To this end, the Gallery provides a quality program of travelling exhibitions and related services to regional Queensland. The Gallery also initiates innovative partnerships and training opportunities for regional organisations and communities, and provides access to education resources on the Gallery's Collection and travelling exhibitions for teachers in regional Queensland.
The Gallery is justifiably proud of its services to regional Queensland, which span almost its entire 108-year history. Its first travelling exhibition was staged in 1906, only a decade after the Gallery was founded, and still some years before the appointment of its first full-time curator. The Gallery is the only state gallery to provide a comprehensive program of touring Collection-based exhibitions to regional areas as part of its core business.
