Local neighbourhoods are the focus of a new art exhibition opening at Redland Art Gallery, Capalaba this Saturday, 11 November.
In contrast to the mandated lockdowns and isolation periods of the COVID-19 years, the In Focus exhibition this year invited artists to step outside and capture their surrounds responding to the theme “My Street”.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said the result was comforting and familiar works that showcased the cultural life of the region and artistic talent across a range of media and styles.
