For a community gallery it is very good. The curator has a good sense of style in selecting pieces. There is one piece that should be considered a masterpiece.

Great facility and beautiful building. Check out the Archibald Prize paintings but be quick because it finishes after the May Day weekend.

Great building, lovely staff & wonderfully presented exhibition.
Check cost of drinks / food though at cafe out front.
Dearest coffee in Oz & not so good anyway.

Lovely building and interesting exhibits. For my taste, I would have preferred a few more paintings over installations and video art

Great displays over two levels. It was brilliant to see First Nations artist displayed throughout the gallery. The curation was excellent. The customer service at the gallery was very pleasant too. The women at the front counter we very helpful and informative regarding the exhibitions. They were also able to provide information about the artists who created some of the items in the gift shop.

They have the Archibald winners displayed there, had to book online, but there was no need, because when we arrived at our allocated time, no booking reference required, we donned our face masks and strolled through. Great exibition

Great art gallery with gift shop (some quality jewellery and other gifts). I'm impressed with the range of exhibitions over the year, visiting from larger more established galleries. Local talent curated in the attic - easy to get around with the lift and plenty to look at - you can do it in half an hour or 90 minutes depending on how long you want to chill there. Free entry - well worth a visit if you are in Cairns

Lovely place to check out some local art. Staff was friendly. Tip: would be great to have some blow up prints of the displayed artwork.

A really interesting and diverse collection of artwork, textiles and creative works. Three storeys, each with a different theme, and a very enjoyable old building. The shop also has a large number of indigenous art and souvenirs that aren't tacky sweatshop replicas.

A great place to spend leisure time at. It is very well maintained, has great art and even a spade to make your own art and a lot of resources to do so! This place is free to visit and is located at a very accessible place.

My partner and I had a lovely time at the art gallery today. The exhibitions and landmark building was an exceptional way to spend an afternoon.
