We welcome exhibition proposals throughout the year. We encourage proposals from emerging, mid-career and professional artists from all cultural backgrounds. We also encourage group, collaborative, curated and touring exhibitions.
Exhibitions are scheduled for a period of four to six weeks. We generally schedule our exhibition program 12 to 18 months in advance.
Artists may submit one proposal every two years for each gallery.
The Central Highlands Regional Galleries are public galleries with no fees to exhibit. Sale of all exhibited artworks during the exhibition period is facilitated by council and includes a 10% commission fee deducted from the listed sale price.
Please contact the Arts and Cultural Officer – Galleries at chgalleries@chrc.qld.gov.au to discuss your proposal.
To apply to be part of our exhibition program, please download and complete the Exhibition Proposal form and submit to chgalleries@chrc.qld.gov.au. Once your proposal has been assessed, you will be contacted via email.
Our Artists in the Spotlight series introduces our region’s community of artists and artisans, and features groups, individuals, and collaborations.
