QCAD Galleries promotes experimentation and innovation across five exhibition spaces
QCAD Galleries are a facility of the Queensland College of Art and Design. Exhibitions, guest lectures and artist talks are programmed throughout the year with exhibition opportunities available to students, staff and external exhibitors. Exhibitions are free and open to the public.
We aim to foster experimentation and innovation while providing a forum for research, ideas and exchange. Exhibition programming varies across our gallery spaces, with a primary focus on contemporary art and design, research, curatorial projects and connections between artists from South East Queensland and beyond.
QCAD Galleries are comprised of five exhibition spaces – the Project Gallery, Webb Gallery and Grey Street Gallery, all located at the QCAD South Bank campus; POP Gallery, off-campus in Fortitude Valley; and Machinery Street Galleries, off-campus in Bowen Hills.
QCAD Galleries are practicing safe and hygienic practices throughout the gallery space and we will ensure that there are an appropriate number of attendees are in the gallery at one time to abide by the Government's social distancing guidelines. Visitors will be asked to check into QCAD Galleries using a QR code.
