Galleries

The Tableland’s diverse landscape creates breathtaking natural beauty in which colourful villages and bustling towns are nestled. In this clean mountain air, a rich arts community thrives and shares their talents. Artists, potters, photographers, sculptors and teachers create artworks that capture the true heart of the Tablelands. Take home your own piece from one of the studios and shops across the region.

We operate three galleries in the Tablelands Region. Exhibitions are constantly changing and include artworks from local artists, travelling exhibitions, and school and community groups.

The Garden Inside

Capturing bountiful, blooming, colourful moments from an artist’s tropical garden, this solo exhibition by Far North Queensland-based artist Rachael Boon brings the garden inside.

Bold flowers, energetic growth and the experience of being in and around the garden are vividly rendered in Boon’s paintings through a combination of observation and imagination. These new paintings and mixed media works celebrate springtime and the beauty of the region at this time of year.

Magnifico

Tableland Community Link (TCL) is a local organisation that supports people to connect, grow, and thrive within the community. The Grove is TCL’s creative and social activity hub. A welcoming space where participants can explore new skills, friendships, and self-expression through a range of activities and programs.

The theme of this year’s exhibition is Magnifico — a celebration of the things that bring joy, wonder, inspiration, and meaning to our participants. Through art, colour, creativity, and personal expression, participants have explored what they marvel at, the people, the places, and passions that make life feel special.

Magnifico invites the community to experience creativity through the eyes of our participants and celebrate the beauty of what makes each person unique.

By The Grove — Tableland Community Link
On display until Friday 13 November.

Crocodile Flats

This exhibition by Atherton-born, Innisfail-based artist Isaac Hoddle is grounded in the landscapes and communities of Far North Queensland, where tropical climate, cultural diversity, and environmental volatility shape daily life in profound ways.

This series of photographic works explores how place, memory, and identity intersect in this region—how people live with the rhythms of the wet season, the quiet resilience of small towns, and the deep connections formed between community and environment.

This project has been selected for the Head On Photo Festival open exhibitions 2026.
