Rockhampton Art Gallery

With a front row location next to the Pilbeam Theatre on the south bank of the Fitzroy River, Rockhampton Art Gallery is free to enter and has been around since 1967. The gallery may be compact, but its permanent exhibition draws on a formidable collection that charts Australia’s Modernist movement from the mid-20th century. There are pieces by Fred Williams, John Brack, Sidney Nolan, Russell Drysdale and Charles Blackman, to name just a handful. There’s also an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, from regional, state, national and international institutions (entry fees may apply here), as well as a calendar of talk and workshops.

Great little art gallery. We've had a very nice chat with Bev who was sitting on the front desk welcoming us. Lovely place! Highly recommend!

Hardly any artwork on display, and not exactly good quality 'art'.

Great little gallery. For a country town

This place could do with a bit of a spruce up and the staff could be a little friendlier.
