Why it's worth checking out
Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast is a gallery, working art community and place to purchase local art in Broadbeach. Admission is free, and visitors can browse the latest exhibition, view paintings by members and buy artwork for a home or workplace. An Art Cafe is also part of the gallery offering.
The purpose-built exhibition gallery sits in a park location facing Broadbeach beach, giving the venue a distinct setting for viewing art. Members exhibit paintings each month, with works sold to local and overseas buyers. The society also shares art with the wider community through exhibitions, classes and workshops, making it relevant whether you are looking to discover artists, purchase a piece or develop your own practice.
RQAS Gold Coast is volunteer-run and encourages members to take an active role in the society. Visitors are welcome to browse, while artists can enquire about becoming members. Its programme also includes art-focused activities such as Art in the Park and ArtFresco plein-air sessions, alongside regular exhibitions and art awards. It suits solo gallery visits, art buyers and people interested in joining a local creative organisation, with the beachside park setting adding another reason to include it in a Broadbeach outing.
