Exhibitions
The Lagoons Gallery features monthly exhibitions from a range of talented local artists across the Mackay Whitsunday region. See below to see what is coming up.
April Lagoons Gallery Art Exhibition - 'Through Our Child's Eyes' by Kylie Ferriday Art and Art Haus.
Throughout life our imagination and creativity tend to harden. We see a tree as a tree. A bird as a bird.
‘Through Our Child’s Eyes’ is a series of painting by children artists showcasing how they see the birdlife around us.
Celebrating the uniqueness of how our brains see, process, and then express our creativity is fascinating. Let’s take a look at our own bird life 'through our child’s eyes.’
This exhibition is on display from Wednesday, April 3 to Sunday, April 28 in the Lagoons Gallery within the Botanic Gardens Café. The café is open Wednesday to Friday, 9am to 2pm and weekends 8am to 3pm (closed Mondays, Tuesdays and public holidays).
Upcoming Exhibitions to look out for:
- May - Art Whitsunday Inc.
- June - Tropical Petography.
