Art lovers turned out in force to celebrate the official opening of a Toowoomba art gallery.

After outgrowing its temporary leasing space, The Toowoomba Gallery has now moved into its new premises at the redeveloped Rowes building on Victoria St.

Serving as part art gallery, part interior design studio, the business held its first exhibition at the new location, on Thursday night.

Featuring Queensland-based artist Joanna Davies’ collection of oil painting works, crowds turned out for the opening of the exhibition titled Unbridled.

Artworks can now be purchased in-store or online at thetoowoombagallery.com.
