Discover Southern Queensland Country’s Best

Art Trails

Granite Belt Art Trail

Discover the talent of the region’s best artists as they exhibit at studios and galleries during the annual festival, GBART. Test your brush strokes or put pen to paper in a workshop, take part in a hands-on display, meet the artists, watch the experts in action and more. See the talent of the Granite Belt’s local community, alongside international artists, dotted around the region. From intricate mosaic tiles snaking along the pavement to detailed paintings sprawled around the town, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of culture, history, and artefacts in the area.

Condamine Country Art Trail

Stay a bit longer on the Southern Downs after GBART, as the Condamine Country art and open studio trail kicks off. Studio Visits: Meet and talk to artists as they work in their private studios. Learn about their technique, inspiration and motivation. Collectives: Learn why the Condamine Country art scene is thriving. Chat to groups of likeminded artisans working and sharing conversation and ideas. Visit the Willow Gallery in Killarney showcasing their local artists on the trail.

Toowoomba Laneway Art Trail

Marvel at over 55 masterpieces from local and international artists covering the walls of the city with a wander through Toowoomba’s Laneway Art Trail. Thanks to the First Coat festival, which kicked off in 2014, Toowoomba’s laneways are permanently home to some of the country’s most renowned street art. Grab a croissant and coffee at Ground Up, tucked away between vibrant murals in Searles Lane, before snapping shots of the city’s most photographed large-scale artworks.

Goondiwindi Region Art Trail

The Goondiwindi Region might have joined Australia’s silo art trail in 2019 with their iconic Yelarbon Silo Mural, but closer to town there’s plenty of art works to explore. The town’s been painted from the ground up, thanks to the annual Lanescape Festival, which sees artists adding to its permanent art trail.

Western Downs Sculpture Trail

With works from some of Australia’s best-known artists hanging in galleries across the Western Downs, there’s more to the region’s connection with arts and culture than meets the eye. Renowned artists Hugh Sawrey’s works can be seen throughout parks and galleries, with some of the best examples of his work on the Grand Tara Commercial Hotel’s walls.
