From Tuesday, 12th of November the exhibition Extinction is For Ever will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery. This exhibition focuses on loss of habitat and safety in the environment; loss to fire, flood, drought, urban sprawl and care-less-ness; and loss is exhausting – for suffering animals and for humans trying to make a difference.⁠
⁠
Claudje Lecompte and Susan Margaret are co-curators and are collaborating with 30 artists and the Queensland Conservation Council to focus on the vulnerable, endangered or extinct in the wild mammals and birds in Queensland.⁠
⁠
This exhibition will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery from Tuesday, 12th of November to Sunday, 17th of November, 2024; we look forward to seeing you in the gallery.

Entries are now open for the 2025 Harold and Agnes Richardson Drawing prize!⁠

From 1970 to 1977 Harold was secretary, and from 1978 to 1980 became president of the RQAS. His aims were to lift the standard of the society by increasing the membership, and concentrate on promoting art, both from the participation point of view and the area of appreciation.⁠

This biennial exhibition focuses on the practice of drawing, a foundational skill that is central to artistic practice. Entries are due by Wednesday, 29th January, 2025 at 3:30pm.⁠
