Gallery 48 and the artists Rhonda Stevens and Marj Imlach will present a series of Soft Openings. That means each day will be subject to a limited number of attendees and social distancing to be observed please. 

Saturday 19th September

Wednesday 23rd September and

Saturday 26th September 

Time: Come and meet the artist Rhonda Stevens  from 3:30 to 5:30 pm on one of the days. 

Please RSVP gallery48thestrand@gmail.com for a day and time (20 minutes or so) that you might be able to view the new artwork. Otherwise please turn up and distance. 

We welcome art browsers. 

Venue: Gallery 48 is at 2/48 The Strand, North Ward, Townsville.  

Some refreshment will be provided. 

Marj and Rhonda have greatly enjoyed challenging each other to work on a collaborative print together … Our exchange and response requires a good deal of co-operation, understanding and acceptance of each other’s ideas. 

It is the dialogue between two artists separated by vast distances, Melbourne and Townsville, that is presented here.

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.

Hello Friends and Visitors to Gallery 48,

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.

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.

We know its hot in Townsville but this fella had it all worked out.

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.
