Free entry! Recommend to go as they have three floors with three different exhibitions. I love the one “Colonialism and Nature Painting” by Ellis Rowan as it shows the nature of the Queensland area.

What a beautiful space. Seperate rooms with a new discovery in each🤩 wonderful gift shop with local art and the young lady at the front counter was adorable. Thankyou for this delightful wonder through some amazing pieces of art 🙏🏼🖼️🎨

Beautiful experience. Our first Cairns experience and the art work informed us about the character of Cairns. A photographic exhibition that focused on Yarrabah, an artist from Thursday Island initially but now a Cairn’s resident, had executed some wonderful lino cut prints and the lovely fabrics on display in the gift shop spoke of a modern colourful tropical city.

Gorgeous art gallery in the heart of Cairns. Lovely old building (which there's not much of in Cairns) and every so often a different theme corresponding to what's on the calendar at a particular time. I recommend to pop in of you're on holiday in the far north.

What a beautiful gallery! The building is thoughtfully designed and chic and the art on display was interesting and informative and moving. We got our favorite gifts in the gallery’s gift shop, including a couple of prints of some of the work we loved in the galleries. A treasure in Cairns!

The architecture is great, the place is well maintained. The young lady at the reception is so lovely and warm. Gold coin donation. It's a good place to spend 15-30mins in the middle of the day when it's too hot/ rainy outside.

Wonderful place to explore different types of art. We especially loved the beautiful detailed paintings by Ellis Rowan. Free to enter but very happy to give small donation.

It's a small art gallery close to Esplanade, and free to visit. Good idea to drop by adjacent Court House Gallery as well. Some nifty products in shop.
