Gold Coast Art Galleries
The Gold Coast City Art Gallery, funded by the Gold Coast City Council, is one of Australia's most prominent public regional galleries. The Gallery houses a collection of contemporary and historical artworks reflecting the character of the locals and the development of art practice in Australia.
Hosting a regular program of diverse exhibitions and events, the Gallery is home to one of Australia's longest running art prizes, the Conrad Jupiters Art Prize.
The Gold Coast's perfect climate makes it an ideal venue for outdoor exhibitions.
Situated on a peninsula of land dividing the waters of the Nerang River, a meandering path takes visitors close to the sculptures and the beauty of the natural habitat surrounding them.
The Evandale Sculpture Walk is an oasis of creativity that blends and contrasts beautifully with the bustling heart of Surfers Paradise.

Colin Perini's seascapes reflect his mission to "show the world the wonder and magnificence of natural beauty through [his] paintings of the moving seas".
Perini's seascapes are natural and simple, although his interest and talents also spread to music, caricature and, more, recently abstracts.
