Get Lost in Colour: Interactive Installation Debuts at Redcliffe Art Gallery

Calling all creative families! The Redcliffe Art Gallery is gearing up for a splashy new exhibition that promises to ignite imaginations and immerse visitors in a vibrant underwater adventure.



The Fish Bowl, an interactive installation by local artist Kellie O’Dempsey, invites families to collaborate and contribute to a constantly evolving underwater scene.

Using colourful lights, collage materials, and other artistic tools, visitors can create their own fishy friends, adding to the ever-growing underwater landscape.

This engaging exhibition caters to a range of artistic abilities. Each activity explores different creative approaches, from drawing techniques and collage work to exploring concepts of gesture and composition. As more fishy creations come to life, the entire installation transforms, becoming a dynamic and collaborative artwork.

What to Expect with Redcliffe Art Gallery and Community Space Upgrades

Redcliffe Administration Centre will undergo a major enhancement with the addition of a new art gallery and community space.

The Moreton Bay Regional Council has allocated $5.5 million to the project which will see the Redcliffe Art Gallery relocate from its current location to provide additional space for exhibitions and public programs. 

The new 1000 square metre gallery will feature display areas, new front counter, a courtyard, studio space, storage, curatorial space and general amenities.

Other enhancements will include the establishment of a new customer service area and space for community groups on the ground floor. 

With the upgrades underway, council’s customer service will be temporarily relocated to Redcliffe Library. Council’s regular public meetings will continue to be held on the upper level of the building.
