In Memory of W***y Webster 🎨🧡🌈

The Gympie Regional Gallery community is saddened by the recent passing of local artist W***y Webster.

In 2022, W***y celebrated a significant milestone with his first solo exhibition at Gympie Regional Gallery. Curated by local artist Sandra Ross, who worked closely with W***y through her home studio, the exhibition was a wonderful success, with all of W***y's artworks finding new homes.

W***y was a much-loved member of the Gympie community, remembered for his infectious smile, playful personality and love of colour. His creativity and enthusiasm brought joy to those around him, and his exhibition remains a special part of the Gallery's history.

Our thoughts are with W***y's family, friends and all those who knew and loved him.

🎉 Opening and Artist Talk this Saturday
Assigned to Bloom: Jan Lawnikanis

You're invited to join us for the official opening of Assigned to Bloom, a solo exhibition by Gympie watercolourist Jan Lawnikanis.

Jan explores the meanings carried by flowers through symbolism, spirituality, medicine, food and identity. Through botanical watercolour paintings and other media, the exhibition celebrates flowers as both natural forms and vessels of human meaning, revealing the enduring connections between beauty, belief, healing, and culture.

During the morning, you will be able to meet and hear from the artist. This relaxed and conversational opening event and artist talk is designed to be accessible and engaging for a broad audience, with time for questions and free morning tea.

Date: Saturday 17 October 2026
Time: 10.30am
Cost: Free entry, all welcome
RSVP not required.

General exhibition viewing: 16 October - 21 November 2026.

🎉Announcing our People's Choice winner
Du Rietz Art Awards 2026
Phil Rolton
'Tasmanian High Country'
Pen and ink

More than 300 visitors have cast their vote and 'Tasmanian High Country' has been crowned as the people's favourite!

About the work, as supplied by the artist:
"A recent road trip to Cradle Mountain, Tasmania, I was drawn to the imposing diorama of the Tasmanian high country. The uninterrupted blanket of the contrasting alpine wildflowers, rocky outcrops and far-off blue mountains attracted me to created a panorama painting. From my sketches with photography, I worked with pen, ink and watercolour with fine brush strokes to define the individuality of layers of plant species amongst the overall Tasmanian landscape wilderness."

Congratulations Phil Rolton!
There's still time to experience the Du Rietz Art Awards. On display until 9 October, the exhibition features more than 95 finalist artworks from South East Queensland and across Australia.

🙏 Thank you to our generous sponsors of the People's Choice Award
David and Sally Gartshore, Annette Reilly, Heinke Butt, and Drs Calin and Mihaela Negru-Radu.
