Touring Exhibitions
Umbrella has curated, coordinated, exhibited and delivered a number of touring exhibitions across Australia and internationally. We support artists to reach a wider audience and to showcase the strength and breadth of high-quality artworks created in Australia and by North Queensland artists. Umbrella also tours outbound and inbound exhibitions locally in North Queensland with community partners including The Grand Hotel and the Mike Carney Creative Industries Centre.
Listed are some of our current and previous touring exhibitions. If you would like to express interest in hosting one of these exhibitions or any other Umbrella exhibition at your venue, please contact us.
