Art Gallery temporarily closed
Unfortunately, with the hot and humid days, the Lockyer Valley Art Gallery air conditioner has failed, prompting the early closure of the current ‘Windowpanes’ exhibition.
The gallery is expected to remain closed until approximately 26 January 2025 while parts to repair the system are sourced.
