★★★★★Featured review by Amanda Miller

I had a good wander around the gallery. I loved the art and sculptures when I went there with my mum. Lovely atmosphere. Thank you

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with school-age children and art-curious parents who want a short, free cultural stop on a Gladstone visit. The activity tables keep younger children occupied for 15-20 minutes. Older kids who engage with the rotating exhibitions will get more out of it. Plan for 15-30 minutes unless a special touring exhibition is showing.

“Very enjoyable visit. All three exhibitions were excellent. Ping Carlyon: Our Shining Stars was a wonderful insight to some very talented local young people. The Clare Belfrage touring exhibition was a chance to see something very special. The gift shop has some lovely things for sale.”

“Excellent range of artists. The collection was very well presented. Very impressive styles and interaction. Free entry and a good visit on a quiet Gladstone weekend. No motorbikes though, just a really cool metal dragon.”
