Description
Find and log art galleries around Australia
We already have virtual caches for a couple of the biggies (National Gallery of Australia and National Portrait Gallery) but what about all those galleries that promote and display art work of all sorts around the country?
Many regional centres have their own gallery or cultural centre and cities can have numerous public and commercially run facilities. They often serve as an important way to showcase that areas local artistic community and bring travelling exhibitions to folks who may not get to see these piece otherwise.
Beyond galleries I will also accept ceramics and glass workshops and sculpture gardens as long as they display a variety of work and have changing exhibitions over time.
To log this cache:
- take a photo of the outside of the art gallery with the name of the gallery showing
- take a photo of a piece of artwork from inside that gallery that appeals to you and tell us why (if you are allowed to - check with the gallery before photographing)
- note the coordinates of the gallery
You're welcome to log as many galleries as you like but none retrospective to the publishing date.

This is the Gang Gang art gallery filled with the works of local artists. Available to admire at your leisure or purchase if you are so inclined.
The Caroline Spring Gallery. Alas the Gallery is closed on Sundays, but this is a sculpture which is found at the rear of the gallery itself.

This is an art gallery near home, located on Edgeworth David Avenue in Hornsby. I have been inside once to look at an exhibition. Unfortunately I got there a bit late to check out the exhibition that is on today. Info on the gallery can be found at https://www.hornsby.nsw.gov.au/lifestyle/arts-and-culture/wallarobba
Thanks for the cache.

New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM)
NERAM located in Armidale NSW, is renowned for it's valuable collection of Australian Art. It is custodian of three important collections - the Howard Hinton Collection, the Chandler Coventry Collection and the NERAM Collection. Mosman's Bay by Tom Roberts is thought to be the most important painting in the Howard Hinton Collection......and because it is so important it's often travelling the country and not on display but we knew where to find a print to take a pic!
No where near the class of the original but you get the picture.

Beyond Art Gallery is a unique center as it incorporates a Skate shop, a Skate park and an art gallery.
I went there last night to see my sons girlfriend ,Ophelia Roberts, exhibit some of her work as well as other local artists.
She uses a Stippling technique to produce a great visual effect. Of coarse I like her art the best.

Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery in Cradle Mountain in Tasmania has about a dozen rooms with each one dedicated to a different photographer. All the prints are for sale so I did not like to take a picture of any individual photo. I have taken a photo of my family admiring the artistic photographs. Well known wilderness photographers ncluding Wolfgang Glowacki, Rob Blakers and my favorite Peter Dombrovskis, all have rooms of photographs here.
Museum of Brisbane Gallery
Currently there is an exhibition of art (paintings and stained glass windows) by William Bustard (1894-1973), a Brisbane artist.
I love the way he captures the colours and light in this particular painting of Castle Rock in Townsville.
Thanks Ziggiau - we really enjoyed this exhibition.

Ghost Rock is a vineyard located about 15km to the east of Devonport. Their cellar door building contains a small exhibition area, known as the Ghost Rock Gallery, where the work of local artists is exhibited and promoted. Once every two to three months the works of featured artist is changed. We enjoy visiting the gallery and we call in many times a year. The current featured artist is Loretta Hingston who paints in oils from photos that she or her friends have taken. Today there were two paintings which attracted our attention. The first is of a wombat on the edge of a tarn at Cradle Mountain - the aspect that impressed us most about this work was the realistic detail in the grasses and mosses around the edge of the tarn. The second is of a small section of flowering gum - this painting had a three dimensional quality which made the pink/red flowers very vibrant. A photo with three images has been added to the Gallery for this cache: in the centre is the entrance to the Ghost Rock Cellar Door; and the other two images are of the paintings described above. Thanks Ziggiau for the cache.
The town of murals, Sheffield is an entire town art gallery. I love this place
Hi ziggiau
Had a trip to Tasmania's World Wide famous museum MONA, Claremont, Tasmania the other day.
MONA equals "Museum of Old and New Art"
The art forms here vary a lot and the ones photographed are my favourites.
The "Water Fall" has water falling from the roof, forming words as the water drops. BRILLIANT!
The "Bubble Car" is one persons dream but will never make the road.
"NAGASAKI" - Art associated with the dropping of the bomb during the Second World War.
Outside, "The Trucks" - fastidious.
TFTC and cheers

Nanango is a small community in the South Burnett area of Queensland but the community of around 8000 people is very active. this art gallery has been set up inside the old offices of the former Butter Factory. WINDS OF CHANGE GALLERY encourages locals to become involved in all forms of art and hold a very successful annual week long event.
Waradah Aboriginal Art Gallery
Echo Point
Katoomba, NSW
Visited here today with Mrs. pjmpjm and enjoyed the exhibition downstairs. I liked the painting best that showed the 'spirit figures' . . . picture attached. The ancient Aboriginal people had great visions. I don't think this picture shows any kind of ancient astronaut.
Didn't see any signs forbidding photography, but didn't try for too many shots, just in case.
And, of course, the gallery couldn't have a more spectacular position, with excellent views over the Jamison Valley.

Thought this was going to be hard as most Art Galleries don't let you take photos in them but this one was okay with it.
I like these pieces because of the colours, the amount of work that has gone into them, I know the area and many more reasons. Wagait Art Gallery is only open once a year but well worth the drive out to see the work produced by the people who live there.Thanks for the new locationless.
