UQ Art Museum at St. Lucia Campus

Olley's rendition of the Brisbane River

Margaret Olley: Life’s Journey is the latest exhibition at the University of Queensland Art Museum. It traces the many places that the artist had lived in and worked with over the years. Olley was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters in 1999 by the UQ in recognition of her work for the arts and for her philanthropic endeavors.

It is open to the public until April 19, 10 am to 4 pm daily with free parking on weekends, after which it will go on touring Sydney and Newcastle.

12 Pinoy Icons

FPJ, an artist and an icon

Gallery 7, a two-year old modern art establishment that specializes in rendering stylized and modern executions of personal photographs, will be launching an exhibit that will be the first of a series entitled PINOY ICONS. A tribute to ”12 Pinoy Icons” that were hand-picked from a choice of many (because of their admirable contribution to the film, sports and entertainment industries), these artworks will be printed on canvas and will measure 36″ x48″  each. 

The exhibit opens on on November 27, 2008, 6:00 p.m. at the Shaw Exhibit Hall on Level 4 of the Shangri-la Plaza Mall. This exhibit will run until December 11, 2008.
