We acknowledge the Ngunnawal People, the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, create, and grow. We pay our respects to the elders past, present, and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, and the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the nation.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Q Gallery is a local hub for creative and wellness enthusiasts alike to host, discover, connect, and inspire.

We provide local artists an affordable and exciting opportunity to exhibit their work in the heart of Ainslie, one of Canberra's most art-centric suburbs.

By fostering an environment that nurtures creativity and connection, we at Q Gallery invite everyone to be part of a dynamic community dedicated to artistic growth and cultural expression.
