City of Townsville Art Collection

The City of Townsville Art Collection offers compelling views, narratives and ideas of life in ‘the Tropics’, whilst revealing the individuals and forces which have shaped Townsville’s long and colourful history. Some of the works include Indigenous land, colonial settlement, Townsville port, World War II staging posts through to the modern military base and contemporary tropical city. The permanent collection holds more than 3,000 works of art, and Townsville City Council’s art galleries continue to be a gathering place for all those seeking to share the beauty of this exciting collection of world art. The Collection is at the heart of the Council’s efforts to engage, educate and enrich the diverse populations drawn to the Townsville region.

The 2013/2014 financial year has seen unprecedented growth of the City of Townsville Art Collection; 88 works of art were acquired through purchases, direct donations, and donations through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.
