Logan City Council opened Logan Art Gallery in 1995 as a community based initiative which celebrates Logan and Queensland artists and provides a dynamic program for residents and visitors who enjoy the visual arts.

Exhibitions change approximately every four weeks and the program seeks to explore the diversity of art making in Australia. Priority is given to Logan artists’ work.

As part of the Queensland network of regional galleries, the Logan Art Gallery shows a mix of touring exhibitions, local artists’ work, visiting artists and permanent collections.

Young Peoples Gallery

The Young Peoples Gallery offers fun, interactive activities and exhibitions, especially for young visitors and families to enjoy.

The space features an annual program of exhibitions that have been created for or by local children and youth. It provides an ongoing opportunity to celebrate the talents of our vibrant young community.

Logan Art Gallery Store

The Logan Art Gallery Store stocks locally created contemporary gifts and collectibles. The aim of the gallery store is to promote local artists and designers by providing the perfect setting in which to sell their work and increase their visibility in the Logan region.

A wide range of gifts is available including original jewellery, scarves and wraps, cards, ceramic works, glass jewellery boxes, art publications, children’s books and toys.

Logan Art Collection

Logan Art Collection works reflect, discuss and celebrate Logan’s vibrant contemporary culture and people.

It brings together artists from Logan, Queensland and across Australia. The collection essentially aims to be reflective of the time in which we live.

Works celebrate the creativity of Australia’s artists and explore what could be described as the ‘spirit’ of Logan City and the diversity of its residents.

Historically the Logan Art Collection arose out of the Logan Art Award which commenced in 1988 and continued for ten years. The Logan Art Award attracted significant works of art to Logan City and played an important role in facilitating cultural development in the local community. It enabled the highest quality contemporary artworks to be selected for acquisition in the development of the Logan Art Collection.

Today the Logan Art Collection features an increasing range of paintings, works on paper, photographs, ceramics, mixed media works and sculptures. The collection incorporates the Logan, A Sense of Place collection which specifically seeks to reflect aspects of Logan City’s physical and social environment. Works featured in the Logan, A Sense of Place collection bring together various artists’ ideas and impressions about the Logan area and what it is like to live in the city. This collection describes and discusses the community and the different ways it can be seen and experienced.

In recent times, works for the Logan Art Collection are acquired through Logan City Council’s Art Collection Policy. Suitable works are selected from exhibitions held at the Logan Art Gallery, from studios of local artists and via gifts and bequests through the Commonwealth’s Cultural Gifts Program.

The Logan Art Collection plays an important role in assisting the local community to explore ideas and stories of Logan City’s recent past, while illuminating the vibrant present and encouraging the regions individuals to imagine their futures.
