Visual Arts Opportunities

With its oil-stained concrete walls and interior poles, Tank 4 Gallery is far from a conventional, white-walled gallery


The visual arts program at the Tank 4 Gallery is curated to stimulate a creative response from artists, communities and visitors. Artworks and projects produced and presented at the Tanks and Botanic Gardens reflect the beating heart of Cairns and the people who live here, our cultures, our environment, our place in the region and our relationship with the rest of the world.

The gallery space is a multi-functional exhibition and performance space that plays host to a variety of local and touring exhibitions, artists' residencies and studio activity.

This space is available for hire to individual artists and art organisations and possesses a unique setting, size, and shape to accommodate exhibitions and performances.

OPENING TIMES
Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 4.30pm
Weekends, 10.00am - 2.00pm

The gallery closes for exhibition change overs.
