Approximately 150 people turned up to honour one of Cairns’ favourite artists, Ed Koumans at Court House Gallery last Friday evening.

His retrospective exhibition, Rites of Passage was curated by Ingrid Hoffmann by borrowing artworks from collectors of Ed’s work over the last more than three decades. Ed also managed to sell fifteen works on opening night. If, like so many people in Cairns, you love and admire Ed Koumans and his distinctive style, Rites of Passage is open at the Court House Gallery until 24 January 2026.
