To Feb 15, 2026 Tyza Hart: Appearing. Tyza Hart’s artworks foreground embodied experience through combinations of abstract gesture and figuration. In this exhibition, a new installation of ceramic objects and dyed fabric is contextualised with key self-portraits, oil paintings, sculptures, poems, and videos, drawn from the past ten years of Tyza’s practice.

Also, Dion Beasley: Six Dogs. Alywarr man Dion Beasley is an award-winning artist and illustrator. Born in Alice Springs, he has spent most of his life in communities throughout the Barkly region of the Northern Territory. Beasley is best-known for his unique observations of everyday life in remote communities – the streetscapes, families and most notably, the camp dogs that rule the streets. His drawings depict the social structures that exist between humans and animals, and the complex relationships between these rag-tag groups of dogs. As a deaf artist with muscular dystrophy, Beasley uses drawing to communicate with the world.

And Weeds to Paper is a collaborative project initiated by papermaker Zela Bissett with Butchulla Traditional Custodians and volunteers working in forest rehabilitation. Using plant matter as a sustainable form of creative expression, this exhibition suggests a new way of regarding weeds – as a resource rather than a nuisance. Works in this exhibition use handmade papers to create collage, linocuts and three-dimensional casting. Together this group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous creatives have developed a community of skill-sharing and knowledge exchange, built on a foundation of caring for Country.
To Sept 20, 2026 National Interests: Australian Art in the 20th Century. This exhibition explores the cultural legacy of Australian Modernism in the 20th century, pairing artworks from the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery Art Collection with significant works from Australia’s national collection. Featuring works made from 1936 to 1997, each grouping of works of art acts as an entry point into a thread of Australian art history. Considered together, the works in National Interests paint a picture of Australia’s search for a national identity in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. National Interests includes works on long-term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection.
Gallery closed Dec 25 to 26.
