Deb highlights Arts in the South Burnett

18th July 2024

Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington has showcased the artistic talent of the South Burnett during the recent visit to the South Burnett of the LNP’s Shadow Minister for the Arts, Dr Christian Rowan.

Deb said it was a great opportunity to visit the Wondai Regional Art Gallery and highlight the quality of our local artists.

“I was very proud to introduce Dr Rowan to community champion, Elaine Madill and tour the Wondai Art Gallery,” Deb said.

“We were also very lucky to have a sneak preview of the much-anticipated Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) travelling exhibition which will be on display at Wondai during July and August.

“Hosting an exhibition such as this shows just how respected the Wondai Regional Art Gallery has become and I would encourage everyone to take the time to visit the gallery and immerse themselves in this unique experience.

“I would like to thank Elaine and the gallery volunteers for their endless enthusiasm for promoting the arts in our region.

“They were able to share this enthusiasm with Dr Rowan and emphasise the importance of improving access to the arts in regional areas like ours,” Deb said.
