CREATIVE CUTS - Art on Yabba opening

A vibrant new chapter for the Mary Valley arts community began on February 28, with the much-anticipated opening of the Art on Yabba Fine Art Gallery. 

Located in the heart of Imbil at the Mary Valley Arts and Cultural Hub, this purpose-built gallery promises to be a long-term cultural asset for artists and art lovers across the region. 

The opening marks the unveiling of the gallery’s inaugural exhibition Unveiled, Members’ Exhibition, a celebration of work by emerging and established artists from the Mary Valley and wider Gympie region. The gallery will be open Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 2pm each week. 

Art on Yabba is an initiative of Mary Valley Artslink, a not-for-profit community arts organisation, dedicated to growing culture and creative opportunity across the valley. 

The Unveiled, Members’ Exhibition debut is particularly significant. It showcases the creative diversity and collective spirit of the gallery’s contributing artists, offering a broad spectrum of styles, themes and techniques. 

Works range from landscape paintings and evocative figurative pieces to experimental mixed-media creations, reflecting both personal vision and a shared connection to place. 

Whether you’re an avid collector, a curious first-time gallery visitor, or someone who simply appreciates artistic expression, the opening of Art on Yabba promises an inspiring and memorable experience. (Pictured: Lawnikanis; Miniature Teapot.)
