The Don Roderick Gallery is an important part of the famous Stock Exchange Arcade in Mosman St (owned by the National Trust of Qld) for locals and visitors who arrive here every year to take in the sights and sounds of a bustling yet historic city. Our aim is to enhance Charters Towers cultural reputation by showcasing the region’s artistic talent.

Last year during the inaugural 2010 Art Competition, there were over 70 artworks exhibited from entries submitted to the selection committee, and the quality art attracted many to the opening celebration and prize presentation. Val Claussen with her painting ‘August Dry’ won the major $4000 prize, and many other artworks were purchased by countless visitors to the exhibition over the 3 week exhibition period.
