🏛️⏲️Did you know this Geraldton icon has stood the test of time for well over a century — and its famous clock is still ticking?

The Geraldton Regional Art Gallery is more than a gallery — it's a place where art, history and community come together.

Built in 1907 as the Town Hall, the building was once the centre of civic and community life. From concerts 🎼 dances 💃🏼 and theatre productions 🎭 to civic celebrations 🎉 and films🎦, generations of locals have walked through its doors.

If you've ever glanced up at the Town Hall Clock, you're looking at a piece of Geraldton's living history. For generations, it has marked the passing of time while watching the city grow and evolve around it.

📜The building's future hung in the balance during the early 1980s when demolition was proposed to make way for additional city parking. Thanks to a passionate community-led campaign, the historic Town Hall was saved and given a new lease on life, reopening as the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery in 1984.

🖼️ℹ️ Today, this much-loved landmark continues to welcome locals and visitors alike as the home of both the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery and the Geraldton Visitor Centre. From inspiring exhibitions, local history to travel tips, every visit offers something new to explore.

About Sherry:
Sherry Quiambao is an Australian multidisciplinary artist of Filipina heritage, based in Perth/Boorloo, Western Australia. Working across photography, video, sculpture, and installation, her practice explores memory, cultural heritage, and the ways material culture and everyday objects shape belonging and self-image.

Sherry’s international trajectory began early, when she was invited to exhibit at the Embassy of Australia in Washington DC as part of Lie of the Land (2012). She has since undertaken residencies and projects in the Philippines and Indonesia. In 2025 she was awarded the BREEZE PICA International Studio Residency in Makassar, Sulawesi, where she developed new work exploring water as a vessel of memory and exchange.

Her work has been exhibited across Australia, the Philippines, Japan and in the United States, with outcomes including a Perth Festival exhibition - de-centre re-centre (2025) LWAG x P*P, and recognition such as the National Photographic Portrait Prize (finalist & First Time Finalist Award Winner, 2025).
