The 2026 Jumpers and Jazz in July festival wrapped up for another year less than a week ago, it seems the perfect time to reflect on what has been an extraordinary few weeks for Warwick Art Gallery and our community.

Hosting The Red Dress, and her creator Kirstie Macleod, was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For one remarkable week, this internationally travelled artwork brought people together in ways that exceeded every expectation. We were humbled to welcome 6,690 visitors to experience this extraordinary exhibition, with more than 8,000 people visiting the Gallery during the festival. We can't thank Janelle Byrne, Red Dress Australian tour coordinator, enough for her confidence in us, and her tireless support and tenacity.

Our Gallery Shop and exhibition sales achieved more than $27,000 in sales, supporting artists and makers. The response to our two beautiful exhibitions, Against the Grain by Graeme Smith and Out of My Suitcase by Sue Dennis, demonstrate the value our community places on craftsmanship.

None of this happened by chance. It was made possible by the generosity of our incredible volunteers, who welcomed visitors with warmth, enthusiasm and countless hours of their time. We were supported every step of the way by the Warwick Art Gallery Management Committee, whose quiet dedication behind the scenes helps make ambitious projects like these possible.

A special congratulations also goes to our amazing Yarn Bombed Tree creators. Once again you transformed our streets into a joyful outdoor gallery, filling Warwick with colour, imagination and delight. The standard of creativity this year was exceptional, and your work continues to be one of the defining features of Jumpers & Jazz in July. Stay tuned to our page for more photographs of the exhibition artworks and creators.

To everyone who visited, volunteered, created, exhibited, shopped, supported and celebrated with us - thank you. These remarkable numbers tell one story, but the real success lies in the conversations, connections, memories and sense of pride that art has inspired throughout our community.

Here's to another unforgettable Jumpers & Jazz in July.

THE FINAL HOUR // The Red Dress

As the final hour ticks away before The Red Dress leaves Warwick and heads to Brisbane, we're reflecting on what has been an extraordinary chapter for the Warwick Art Gallery.

We've welcomed record visitor numbers through our doors, with audiences embracing not only The Red Dress, but also our two outstanding accompanying exhibitions.

Out of My Suitcase by Sue Dennis brings together 50 years of travels, stories and experiences, beautifully and uniquely imbued into cloth, creating a deeply personal and captivating body of work. (Exhibiting until August 29)

Local Warwick artisan and retired boat builder Graeme Smith has delighted visitors with his exceptional craftsmanship, with his exhibition receiving an overwhelmingly warm and enthusiastic response. (Exhibiting until August 22)

For Warwick Art Gallery, it has been an honour to host the Australian debut of The Red Dress. A remarkable work 14 years in the making, featuring contributions from 380 embroiderers across 51 countries. Welcoming its creator, British artist Kirstie Macleod, to our regional community for an artist talk and workshop made this experience even more special.

To everyone who visited, shared the journey with us, and supported these remarkable exhibitions, thank you. Your enthusiasm has made this an unforgettable time for the gallery.

Safe travels, Red Dress. Brisbane is in for something truly special. ❤️

How do you capture the spirit of a place in fabric? // For textile artist Sue Dennis, the answer lies in a suitcase full of memories, inspiration and portable art-making tools. Over five decades of travel - from the Australian outback to Mongolia, Italy, India, Asia and North America - Sue has created original textiles that reflect the colours, textures and stories of the places she's visited.

Using surface design techniques developed on location, often in busy streets or tiny hotel rooms, each work is transformed with exquisite stitch into a lasting memory of place.

Come and discover a remarkable exhibition where every piece has a story to tell.

Out of My Suitcase exhibition is part of Warwick Art Gallery's programming for Jumpers and Jazz in July.

Warwick Art Gallery is open every day during Jumpers and Jazz in July: weekdays 10am to 4pm and weekends 9am to 3pm. Regular hours resume on Tuesday 28 July.

Murray, Marleen & Marcello: A Tale of Chips, Charm and True Love // Just when everyone thought the romance between Warwick's favourite bin chickens was happily settled, a mysterious newcomer strutted into town.
His name was Marcello.
He had feathers so glossy they shimmered in the winter sunshine. His tan suggested he'd spent far too much time on the Gold Coast, and around his neck hung a chunky gold chain that sparkled almost as brightly as his dazzling smile.
Marcello had swagger. He had confidence. He had opinions about espresso. As he sashayed down Palmerin Street, he winked at every pigeon, complimented the magpies on their singing, and loudly declared that Warwick simply needed "a little more Italian style!"
Then he saw her. Marleen. Graceful. Elegant. Queen of the parklands.
Marcello stopped in his tracks, it was amore at first sight. There was just one small problem. Marleen already had someone.Murray.

Murray wasn't flashy. He didn't have a tan or a gold chain. He couldn't say "ciao bella" without sounding like he'd swallowed his hot chip.
But Murray knew every park, every picnic table and every generous café owner in Warwick. He knew where the freshest chips could be found, where the tourists dropped the biggest crumbs, and exactly when the bakery emptied yesterday's sausage rolls into the bins.
Most importantly...
He adored Marleen.
And he wasn't about to let some smooth-talking city ibis steal her away!

Our question is, are you Team Murray or Team Marcello? See our knitted bin chickens and their complex love triangle at Warwick Art Gallery during Jumpers and Jazz in July.
