Australian Library of Art showcase

The Australian Library of Art showcase on level 4 provides an opportunity to discover and explore the collections of the Australian Library of Art. Visitors will also appreciate how these collections document the fine arts in Australia.

 

The River City, the current display

The Australian Library of Art showcase displays rare items curated from State Library's collections.

The current display of prints and artists’ books from the Australian Library of Art takes its name from an artist’s book by Brisbane artist Helen Malone. All the artists in the display have a connection to Brisbane. Many studied at Queensland College of Art.

A number of the artists – Madonna Staunton, Sebastian di Mauro, Judy Watson, Normana Wight, Luke Roberts and Joe Furlonger – are also featured in Meet the Artists in the slq Gallery on level 2. 

Curator’s tours of the Australian Library of Art showcase incorporating a mini-white gloves experience, are held monthly.
