2027 Redcliffe Art Gallery exhibitions

Expressions of interest (EOIs) are open for exhibitions in 2027 at Redcliffe Art Gallery. The gallery is City of Moreton Bay’s second-largest exhibition venue.

The 2027 exhibitions will be presented in Gallery 3 and Gallery 4, or both. Learn more about the exhibition space.

Professional artists and curators can submit their exhibition proposal online. We do not accept hard copies.

EOIs have now closed. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their EOI on 29 May 2026.

Who can apply

This opportunity is open to professional artists and curators living in Australia. Artist collectives can also apply. They must nominate a Project Manager to be their representative.

Applicants must meet 3 or more of the following criteria:

  • have tertiary qualifications in the visual arts
  • have work represented by public collections
  • earn an income from arts-related activities
  • have significant and peer-recognised expertise and ability
  • be represented by a reputable gallery
  • have a current practice, and exhibit often and recently
  • have recently been the recipient of a recognised art award, prize, commission or grant

Curators need to provide demonstrated curatorial experience in their CV. They will also need to supply supporting documentation with their application.

City of Moreton Bay employees are not eligible to apply.

Selection criteria

An internal Curatorial Panel will review all applications. The proposal must have:

  • Artistic merit: well-developed concepts and artworks with strong technical skill.
  • Relevance: it connects with local audiences and relates to current themes and ideas.
  • Originality: the concept and presentation are original. They also add diversity to the exhibition program.
  • Viability: it can be delivered with a realistic use of:
    • budget
    • installation needs
    • team capacity.
  • Best practice: it follows professional standards for art exhibitions. For example:
    • the applicant respects Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) protocols
    • the exhibition does not infringe on anyone else’s intellectual property.

The panel’s decision is final.

Exhibition dates

The 2027 exhibitions occur between:

  • March and June
  • July and October

Applicants can select their preferred dates and gallery space. The Galleries Exhibition Team will review these preferences. Final decisions are made based on scheduling and programming needs.

Successful applicants

Successful applicants will work closely with Council’s Galleries Exhibition Team. Applicants will need to meet with various team members, including the Galleries Curator, Exhibition Officer, Gallery Leader and Curatorial Assistant.

The Galleries Exhibition Team will:

  • offer curatorial feedback and support
  • collaborate with successful applicants on exhibition design
  • manage all logistics and installation/de-installation of exhibitions
  • insure artworks while on exhibition and in transit (if required)
  • collaborate with successful applicants in the development of public programming
  • promote the exhibition through Council’s marketing channels, including digital and print
  • host an exhibition opening event

We will determine the level of support needed for each exhibition at the initial meeting. From this meeting, we will develop an exhibition agreement. Both parties will sign this agreement.

Successful applicants are paid relevant exhibition fees per NAVA payment standards.
