Exhibition
Immerse yourself in the lives of Gladstone Region locals....
Congratulations to the 30 Finalist Photographers
Annual favourite, 'Intercity Images: Gladstone Saiki Photographic Exchange' opened earlier in March at the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum. Mayor Burnett officially launched the exhibition, along with special guest speaker, Wendy Marsh.
Mrs Marsh, president of the Gladstone Saiki Sister City Advisory Committee, spoke at the launch explaining how 'Intercity Images' had invited photographers of the Gladstone Region to capture the spirit of Central Queensland’s lifestyle, people and environment.
She said that 2017 had marked the exhibition's 15th anniversary and had enticed local photographers to enter 94 incredible photographs.
