Gatakers Artspace

It has been an eventful start to 2022 here at the ArtSpace between floods and construction. The restoration works to the Creativespace at 311 Kent street are now completed and we are excited to be reopening this building as part of Gatakers Artspace in May. A lovingly curated retrospective of much-loved and respected artist, the late George Kirk, will open on Friday 11 March showcasing his own private collection from his prolific 99 years on the planet. Appearing alongside George's work is Neil Kirby's Black and White exhibition of pen and ink drawings of iconic places across the country including many from our own backyard and Together - Place, Time & Memory from Sandra Ross and Keith Kuchenmeister.

A diverse range of exhibitions will open on Friday 29 April including the introspective Mid-Sentence from local artist and art teacher, Shanay Manitzky, accomplished artist Brian Mooney's collection of works capturing both Australia and Ireland, photography exhibition Places we have been, and a showcase of pyrography works from the Maryborough Woodburners in Burnt Offerings. We also have a number of talks coming up to learn what inspired the works on exhibit from the artists themselves.
