Striking images of native wildlife and intriguing artistic prints will feature in a new round of exhibitions hosted by Logan Art Gallery.
Due to maintenance work at the gallery, this year’s first round will include three exhibitions presented as pop-up displays at Logan West Community Centre at Hillcrest.
They are from Friday, May 6 to Saturday, June 11.
The community centre at 2 Wineglass Drive will open from 10am to 5pm on Tuesday through to Saturday during that time.
The pop-up displays begin with the Queensland Wildlife Artists Society Inc hosting its biennial exhibition of paintings, pastel drawings and sculptures of Australian and international wildlife.
The society promotes Australia’s unique wildlife species through their works. They also raise funds for conservation projects.
The second exhibition, by Kuraby artist Lien Jansen, will showcase illustrations and text from her new children’s book The shining moon.
The book follows young dragon Lila and her loving parents as she uses her strong connection with the moon to show her the way home.
The third exhibition, Altered states, is hosted by The Migaloo Press Artist Collective in Queensland and members of Victoria’s Firestation Print Studio.
Each artist makes two prints and one remains unaltered.
The second print is exchanged with an artist from the other studio and altered to create a new print.
During the exhibitions, Queensland Wildlife Artists Society members and artists from The Migaloo Press Artist Collective will present art demonstrations within the space on selected days.
All three exhibitions will be launched between 6pm and 8pm on Friday, May 6.
