Community members are being encouraged to depict their favourite things about Logan on small canvases provided by the gallery for display later this year.

Mayor Jon Raven said the Love Logan project would showcase the city through the eyes of those who live here.

“I can’t wait to see which parts of Logan inspires people’s creativity,” he said.

“Our city is made up of so many unique and interesting experiences.

“We would love to display art works from both our oldest and youngest residents and everyone in between.”

In 2025, the gallery will feature select works from the City of Logan’s extensive permanent collection, to highlight the skill and depth of local artists.

“Exhibitions during this milestone year will showcase the incredible works of our talented local artists,” Cr Raven said.

“Many of them started their careers here and have gone on to achieve national success, including Nicola Hooper and Chloe Wigg.”

Regents Park resident Xin Weng has produced a painting of Berrinba Wetlands for the exhibition.

Xin, who graduated from Park Ridge State High School last year, said the location was a favourite spot for family picnics.

“It is a nice place to hang out so I wanted to paint it,” she said.

Logan Art Gallery was officially opened on February 18, 1995, to provide a central point for the city’s creative endeavours.

Anyone interested in taking part in the Love Logan project should first register their interest through LoganArts.

Canvas boards can then be collected from the gallery, the Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct as well as Logan Central, Marsden, Logan West, Jimboomba, Logan North, Beenleigh and Logan Hyperdome libraries between this Saturday (February 8) and Monday, June 2 during opening hours.

Registered participants need to deliver their completed boards to the gallery between Tuesday, June 24 and Tuesday, July 1 during the gallery’s opening hours.

These will be displayed in the gallery foyer between Friday, July 18 and Saturday, September 6.
