Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) is the state’s premier institution for the visual arts, based in two neighbouring gallery buildings on Kurilpa Point in Brisbane, Australia. Across both galleries, they present ever-changing exhibitions of contemporary and historical Australian and international art, accompanied by dynamic programs and events. QAGOMA holds a globally significant collection of contemporary art from Australia, Asia, and the Pacific, showcasing proposed and recently acquired artworks including painting, drawing, photography, textile, decorative art, and sculpture from around the world.
QAGOMA is home to the Children’s Art Centre, presenting interactive artworks for kids and families, and the Australian Cinémathèque, which celebrates film from around the world. The gallery shops offer art, books, and cultural curios to take home. With outdoor cafes and an award-winning restaurant, visitors can make the most of Brisbane’s subtropical climate and riverside location. The establishment of the exhibition series in 1993 focused on the artwork of the region and led to the creation of a second building to display a growing contemporary collection, resulting in the opening of the Gallery of Modern Art in 2006.
Committed to representing First Australian art and cultures, QAGOMA has a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in place to structure and improve the organization’s commitment to creating meaningful impact. Additionally, the gallery is dedicated to sustainability, with a vision to become carbon neutral, minimize environmental impact, and display leadership in sustainable museum practices. The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is QAGOMA’s flagship contemporary art series, drawing millions of visitors with an ever-evolving mix of exciting and important contemporary art from the region.
