Opening | Phoebe Paradise, Forest to Fibre & Regional Spotlight

Join us for the launch of a suite of new exhibitions at Hervey Bay Regional Gallery.

Brisbane-based artist Phoebe Paradise's 'Burbs to the Bay presents a surreal reimagining of South East Queensland suburbia filled with technicolour streetscapes and twisted architecture. In this sweaty, twilight world the iconography and aesthetic of subtropic Queensland is brought to life.

Forest to Fibre: FCRC Hardwood Plantations features research from the University of Queensland with loans from the State Library of Queensland’s exhibition Purpose Built, Architecture for a better tomorrow. The Forest to Fibre project presents cutting edge research into sustainable timber processing and design alongside local stories, artworks and histories.⁠

The inaugural Regional Spotlight exhibition showcases artistic talent from across the Wide Bay Burnett region through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and more.

Join us to celebrate the official opening of these exhibitions alongside a new collection display.
