In the Heart of the North (Part 2) is the second in a series of new exhibitions featuring artworks from the City of Townsville Art Collection. These are accompanied by pieces which have been newly commissioned by Townsville City Galleries, either by local artists or those who have spent significant time in Gurambilbarra-Townsville. All artworks have been selected because they depict elements of life in the โnorthโ, which includes North and Far North Queensland, along with our regional neighbours in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
As Townsville is home to Australiaโs largest Army base, the City of Townsville Art Collection includes many works depicting national and international military and peacekeeping activities.
In contrast, other works in this exhibition evoke the natural qualities of landscape and Country in this vast and diverse region, from lush tropical vegetation found in suburban backyards to the Spinifex country of northwest Queensland.
Exhibiting at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, 14 February - 3 May 2026.
