Exhibition: FISHO By Jack Rodgers
Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.

Drop-In Art Activity: Cast Your Line Drawing Game
Take a chance and cast your line by spinning our Drawing Wheel. Each spin lands on a surprise drawing prompt, inviting you to add a new element, texture, shape, creature, or environment to your artwork.
Just like a day on the water, you never know what you might reel in. As your drawing evolves with each spin, unexpected combinations and curious stories begin to surface. Perhaps a native fish sprouts wheels, a riverbank becomes a floating city, or a fishing lure transforms into an underwater treasure map. It's up to you!
Using the drawing materials provided, respond to the prompts as they appear and let chance guide your creativity. There are no mistakes, only new discoveries.
When you have completed your spins, it's time to reel in your masterpiece. Add your own ideas, details, colours and finishing touches to connect the elements together and make the artwork uniquely yours!

Exhibition: FISHO By Jack Rodgers
Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.

Drop-In Art Activity: Cast Your Line Drawing Game
Take a chance and cast your line by spinning our Drawing Wheel. Each spin lands on a surprise drawing prompt, inviting you to add a new element, texture, shape, creature, or environment to your artwork.
Just like a day on the water, you never know what you might reel in. As your drawing evolves with each spin, unexpected combinations and curious stories begin to surface. Perhaps a native fish sprouts wheels, a riverbank becomes a floating city, or a fishing lure transforms into an underwater treasure map. It's up to you!
Using the drawing materials provided, respond to the prompts as they appear and let chance guide your creativity. There are no mistakes, only new discoveries.
When you have completed your spins, it's time to reel in your masterpiece. Add your own ideas, details, colours and finishing touches to connect the elements together and make the artwork uniquely yours!

Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.

Exhibition: FISHO By Jack Rodgers
Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.

Drop-In Art Activity: Cast Your Line Drawing Game
Take a chance and cast your line by spinning our Drawing Wheel. Each spin lands on a surprise drawing prompt, inviting you to add a new element, texture, shape, creature, or environment to your artwork.
Just like a day on the water, you never know what you might reel in. As your drawing evolves with each spin, unexpected combinations and curious stories begin to surface. Perhaps a native fish sprouts wheels, a riverbank becomes a floating city, or a fishing lure transforms into an underwater treasure map. It's up to you!
Using the drawing materials provided, respond to the prompts as they appear and let chance guide your creativity. There are no mistakes, only new discoveries.
When you have completed your spins, it's time to reel in your masterpiece. Add your own ideas, details, colours and finishing touches to connect the elements together and make the artwork uniquely yours!

Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.

Just like a day on the water, you never know what you might reel in. As your drawing evolves with each spin, unexpected combinations and curious stories begin to surface. Perhaps a native fish sprouts wheels, a riverbank becomes a floating city, or a fishing lure transforms into an underwater treasure map. It's up to you!
Using the drawing materials provided, respond to the prompts as they appear and let chance guide your creativity. There are no mistakes, only new discoveries.

City girl Rowena Murray needs a new beginning, after her high-pressure career as a neonatal intensive care nurse is derailed by a monumental panic attack. So she's glad to be heading to rural Acacia Junction for a low-stress, short-term contract to get back in the game. It's only for six months - then she's outta here.
Sheep farmer Lachlan McCabe is on his way into town when he comes across the new nurse saving the life of the town's beloved baker after a suspected heart attack on a deserted road. It's not the kind of meet-cute anyone would ask for, but Rowena and Lachlan soon find sparks flying.
They're both twice-divorced and have experienced enough of life to know exactly what they want - and neither of them is…

Exhibition: FISHO By Jack Rodgers
Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.

Drop-In Art Activity: Cast Your Line Drawing Game
Take a chance and cast your line by spinning our Drawing Wheel. Each spin lands on a surprise drawing prompt, inviting you to add a new element, texture, shape, creature, or environment to your artwork.
Just like a day on the water, you never know what you might reel in. As your drawing evolves with each spin, unexpected combinations and curious stories begin to surface. Perhaps a native fish sprouts wheels, a riverbank becomes a floating city, or a fishing lure transforms into an underwater treasure map. It's up to you!
Using the drawing materials provided, respond to the prompts as they appear and let chance guide your creativity. There are no mistakes, only new discoveries.

Redland Art Gallery
Join us for a free playful and immersive drawing workshop that explores the stories, memories and emotions held within the plants that connect us to a particular place or moment in time. Whether it's a beloved tree from a childhood backyard, a native wildflower from your local landscape, or a plant that reminds you of someone special, this workshop invites you to bring those connections to the page.
Be guided in expressive line work, intuitive mark-making and contour line drawing techniques. Participants will discover how simple lines can capture not only the form and character of a plant, but also the personal memories and feelings it evokes.
No drawing experience is necessary—just curiosity, creativity and a willingness to slow down, observe and enjoy.
All materials supplied.
Please note that RAG staff are not responsible for supervision, parent(s)/carer(s) must remain with children while participating. Art activities suitable for all ages.

Redland Art Gallery
The local fishmonger, or ‘Fisho’ is the source of inspiration for artist Jack Rodgers. Photographs of locals with their prized catches provide an entry point to reflect on the connections we establish with our surroundings - whether at familiar fishing spots or, in Rodgers’ case, through treasured family pilgrimages to the local fishmonger.
Drawing on this sense of place and nostalgia, Rodgers has created a series of works that explore fishing culture. From catching, selling and eating fish to fishing gear and tackle, the works also extend into the history of Brisbane’s fishmongers, including the State Fish Market at South Brisbane.
FISHO celebrates fishing not just as a pastime, but as a shared cultural experience that fosters community. While grounded in Rodgers’ personal story, the exhibition speaks more broadly to the universal emotional and nostalgic connections we hold to familiar places and everyday surroundings.
Free exhibition.
Open Mon-Fri 9am-4pm and Sun 9am-2pm

Drop-In Art Activity: Cast Your Line Drawing Game
Take a chance and cast your line by spinning our Drawing Wheel. Each spin lands on a surprise drawing prompt, inviting you to add a new element, texture, shape, creature, or environment to your artwork.
Just like a day on the water, you never know what you might reel in. As your drawing evolves with each spin, unexpected combinations and curious stories begin to surface. Perhaps a native fish sprouts wheels, a riverbank becomes a floating city, or a fishing lure transforms into an underwater treasure map. It's up to you!
Using the drawing materials provided, respond to the prompts as they appear and let chance guide your creativity. There are no mistakes, only new discoveries.
When you have completed your spins, it's time to reel in your masterpiece. Add your own ideas, details, colours and finishing touches to connect the elements together and make the artwork uniquely yours!
