Collection Exhibition Since opening, the Gallery has shown more than 400 exhibitions with an average of 30 per year, including 6 which have been curated and toured nationally by the Gallery. Over 65% of exhibitions offered an intriguing insight into the social heritage and culture of Far North Queensland. The Exhibitions Policy stipulates that 'exhibitions are local, national and international, with local content a high percentage of the program each year'. Exhibitions on display will offer the community ways of seeing its cultures, environments and histories. Exhibitions will encourage the expression of ideas, attitudes and ambitions - they are about the tradition of art and art in our time, cultural diversity, communication and enjoyment. Exhibitions should offer audiences stimulation and challenging engagement. The exhibitions curated by Cairns Regional Gallery staff feature the artworks of the Far Northern region, which have toured nationally, including Artists Studio, Escape Artists: Modernists in the Tropics, the highly acclaimed Ilan Pasin (this is our Way) exhibition of Torres Strait Islander art and Home Island, Home Country - a special exhibition of works on paper by young people from communities across Cape York and the Torres Strait, and Encounters with Country: Landscapes of Ray Crooke. Linked Landscapes by Anneke Silver, is currently touring nationally. The Gallery also presents a broad range of touring exhibitions from regional, state and national museums and galleries throughout the calendar year. Exhibitions by local artists are developed through LEAP - the Loft Emerging Artists Program. This program, sponsored by the John Villiers Trust, will be directed towards solo artists selected for the program. Through this initiative, the Gallery profiles the work of artists and arts cooperatives throughout Tropical North Queensland. Cairns Regional Gallery calls for expressions of interest from artists each year for an exhibition the following years. Open: Mon-Sat 10am to 5pm Sun and Public Holidays 1pm to 5pm
