Friends of the Galleries

The Friends of the Galleries initiative saw a new take on what Townsville’s public galleries traditionally offer their membership and supporter base.

In the last financial year, Gallery Services undertook an ambitious program to expand upon the services that it offers patrons by initiating the Friends of the Galleries membership program and establishing partnerships with local business providing exclusive benefits for Friends of the Galleries members.

Support your Galleries and become a Friends of the Galleries member today. Membership gives you an insider’s view of Perc Tucker Regional Gallery and Pinnacles Gallery, taking you into the world of art in ways that go beyond visiting and viewing.

Friends of the Galleries are also part of a social network of people who support the visual arts and enjoy unique Member benefits. Memberships may also be purchased through the Gallery as a gift for a family member or friend.
