CARRIAGE EXHIBITION ROOM
At the entrance to the Gallery is the Carriage Exhibition Room. This space is an old rescued rail car donated by Quuensland Rail several years ago. Due to the many efforts of locals and large cranes, the carriage was brought here to the gallery property. Funds were acquired through grants for the transport, cleaning and fixing up to make an excellent space for art.
The Carriage has proved extremely successful for many local artists and craftspeople who have had solo or group exhibitions. There is no charge for the use of the Carriage, however the gallery does take thirty per-cent of sales.
Each exhibition has a festive opening and is on display for four weeks.
