Visual Arts & Galleries

Visual arts and galleries encompass painters, sculptors, photographers, digital artists, and gallery operators who create, display, and sell artwork. This creative industry includes fine artists, commercial artists, art teachers, gallery curators, and framing specialists who contribute to our community’s cultural landscape.

In Ipswich, visual arts and galleries showcase local talent while providing spaces for artistic expression and cultural engagement. From traditional Aboriginal art reflecting our region’s Indigenous heritage to contemporary works by emerging Queensland artists, these venues and professionals celebrate creativity in all its forms.

The sector includes various specialisations such as painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, ceramics, jewellery making, art restoration, and gallery management. Many professionals also offer art classes, workshops, and commissioned works for businesses and private collectors.
