Exhibition | Garrison

𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 brings together historical and contemporary perspectives on conflict, service, and resilience through the City of Townsville Art Collection.

Featuring approximately 70 works, the exhibition spans from Douglas Green’s evocative wartime paintings to powerful contemporary interpretations by Tim Page, George Gittoes, and Jon Cattapan. Honouring our local military and Air Force personnel, these works explore themes of memory, sacrifice, and the human experience of war, offering a profound dialogue across generations.

Presented during the Anzac period, 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 invites reflection on the enduring impact of military history and its representation in art.

𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 Is exhibiting at Pinnacles Gallery 28 March – 7 June 2026.
