EXHIBITIONS AT FIG TREE GALLERIES
We are a regional gallery dedicated to providing our community with access to high quality art exhibitions, while supporting artists from the Capricorn Coast region and beyond to exhibit their work. A new exhibition by talented local and regional artists is curated every 4 weeks.
We welcome visitors to the gallery - seven days a week (excepting some public holidays) from 10.00 am - 4.00 pm.
