Rockhampton Art Gallery Closed

Rockhampton Art Gallery will remain closed to the public as it transitions to the new Rockhampton Museum of Art, which is due to open in early 2022. Although we are closed to the public, we will still be hard at work behind the scenes preparing the collection for the move and future operations.

Visual Fragments: New work by Carmen Beezley-Drake and Joanne Kerr explores personal memories associated with place. Drawing on familiar scenes and fractured memories, the artists re-cast Rockhampton’s built and natural environments in watercolour, acrylic and collage.

‘Whether we travel a place every day or only occasionally, these spaces leave us with visual memories. Sometimes they are vivid images full of colour and shapes or they can be a glimpse of an image that lingers but alters with time.’ Artists Carmen Beezley-Drake and Joanne Kerr

Visual Fragments: new work by Carmen Beezley-Drake and Joanne Kerr is the eighth exhibition to grace the walls of the Merilyn Luck Gallery for Central Queensland artists. This initiative honours the contribution of Rockhampton Gallery supporter Mrs Merilyn Luck, who has long recognised the Gallery as ‘the cultural heart of our city’.

Carmen Beezley-Drake and Joanne Kerr are contemporary visual artists based in Rockhampton and Brisbane respectively.
