Artists and art Browsers are advised that Gallery 48 will close while there are restrictions to public meetings. It is not that we are a small space. With no air-conditioning we have lots of louvres open and great breezes coming through at this time of year. However everybody is making this effort so we at the gallery will also make the effort.
Artists wil have more time to create. I hope you are keeping well.
Art Browsers will have time to consider a collection in the future. I hope you are keeping well.
We were closed for the festive season and reopened in February and March briefly. .
In December “I hope the New Year brings you heath, happiness and for the art person amongst you many creative splurges !!!” So it has become more serious to stay healthy.
Magpie Drinking
This is one way of looking at survival as now the birds are looking for water in back yards as well as streets. This one has it sorted for now. That was in the hot Summer. .
Ways to remember. Clive James wrote about the Australian Happy Hour with mirth of course. Let me know if you can visit Gallery 48 on the 7th December.
We will close for Christmas after that. Though we have an advertisement in Art Guide for January February 2020 the gallery will close for the heat. We may be available through appointments. See contacts please.

Here in Townsville is would be great to show more local artists’ works to the public, those Townsvillians interested in the visual arts and those visiting from the colder regions.
