Cairns Art Gallery

The dream of a public art gallery for Cairns began to take shape in 1979 and over the next 15 years it took the tenacious commitment of Cairns Mayors, Councillors, State Ministers, as well as artists and members of the community to raise over $2 million to repurpose the historic Public Curators Building into an award winning Gallery that was officially opened on 15 July 1995, and now comprises 3 floors of elegantly proportioned gallery spaces.
