Lockyer Valley Art Gallery Returns

The Lockyer Valley Art Gallery will present the works of CPL's (Choice, Passion, Life) Artel artists in their first-ever touring exhibition, Reasonable & Necessary: prints and artist books by Artel Artists, as the first exhibition for 2021.

Supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, the inspiring touring exhibition showcases the work of 33 professional artists, some of whom possess complex and profound disabilities.

Following a closure due to COVID-19 last year, Lockyer Valley Community Services Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said it was wonderful to have the Gallery up and running once again.

"The Lockyer Valley Art Gallery is a much-loved and important community facility for residents of the region and it's great to see it back for a new year.

"We are thrilled to house this exhibition and offer our community an opportunity to learn about the support methods, studio practices and adapted tools that are unique to the Artel studio.

"Our Gallery is a meeting place for social interaction and a way for artists to display their works for the enjoyment of regional communities and I'm sure the community will find great pleasure in this exhibition over the next few months," Cr Hagan said.

Reasonable & Necessary: prints and artist books by Artel Artists will officially open on 29 January 2021 at 6pm. The exhibition is on at the Lockyer Valley Art Gallery from 29 January 2021 until 28 March 2021.
