Can’t believe that it’s been a week since the exhibition closed! We loved seeing all the work together and being enjoyed by so many members of the public. Over 100 of whom shared their thoughts and engaged with the art by voting for their favourite art work.
We are thrilled to be able to celebrate the Peoples Choice Winner @merriman12 for his piece Queen’s Park Blue. Brian is the recipient of a framing voucher from @artis_pura donated by IPSARI
Runners Up with bragging rights were a close second with @by.katn and @melsinclair_au. And a Special Mention for crowd favourite to @timothyacutt for his very striking piece. taken in Ipswich Community Gallery + Art Workshop by @ipsariinc

Photos never really do an artwork justice.
There is something magical that happens when you stand in front of a piece of art. Some of the artists soul seeps into you. And the longer you look at it the more you understand what they are trying to say.
Come and experience some of that magic!
Today is the last day to see the whole collection of "The View From Here" exhibition in person. Artists will begin collecting their works at 2pm today.
So ... if you want to check out these fabulous works today is the day. The gallery will be open from 10am this morning and must close this afternoon at 3pm

Saturday café and art trail around Ipswich ☕🎨

I started with brekkie at The Old Butchers Shop Café, where I met Jack the Husky 🐾 From there, I made my way to Starr Fine Art and Secret Hunny Business ,followed by morning tea at The Old Flour Mill Café.

Afterwards, I made a quick drop-in to say hi at The Vintage Advantage.

Next, I visited the Ipsari exhibition at Ipswich Community Art Gallery before exploring Limestone Gallery and Studios. I then wandered back along Limestone Street to Wild Thyme Farm Café on Brisbane Street, where I enjoyed a cold afternoon drink, cuddled Rufus the dog, admired more art and soaked up the relaxing atmosphere.

Then I headed home to finish some artwork for Nhuralama.

Such a lovely day exploring Ipswich’s locals art and cafés ❤️#nhuralama #nhuralamaart #ipswichqld by @ipsariinc

It has been really nice to see the gallery fill up with people over the past week. The art on display has touched so many people for lots of different reasons. All the artists have interpreted the theme in their own unique ways and hearing the comments from visitors about why they like this one or the other has been interesting.
Like all good things the show has to end and all the artwork will go home on Sunday afternoon. But it’s not too late to visit and enjoy these views - open 10-3pm each day till Sunday 27th.
Massive thanks to @amanda.waschevski for the photos!

A collective portrait of Ipswich through the diverse eyes of its residents.

'The View from Here' is an immersive exhibition that constructs a collective portrait of Ipswich through the diverse lenses of its local artists. Moving beyond mere topography, the exhibition interprets the city both literally and figuratively, capturing everything from cherished physical lookouts to the intangible landscapes of memory, emotion and cultural identity.
