Friends of the Galleries are also part of a social network of people who support the visual arts and enjoy unique Member benefits. There are a range of Membership categories to suit every need, while Memberships may also be purchased through the Gallery as a gift for a family member or friend.

Friends play an important role in the life and work of Townsville’s key public Galleries through the contribution to the acquisition of works of art, the mounting of visiting exhibitions, continual learning and the publication of new scholarship.
