The Great Barrier Reef Festival Art Exhibition is back in 2026, returning to the Whitsundays Sailing Club, providing a breathtaking backdrop for the showcased artworks.

Theme: “Beyond Beauty” invites artists to look past the surface and explore what lies deeper, truer, and more meaningful in the world around us. Beauty can draw us in, but what happens when we move beyond it—into story, emotion, memory, mystery, or revelation?

EXHIBITION OPENING HOURS:

• Thursday 30 July – 6pm to 8pm Opening Night
• Friday 31 July – 9am to 6pm
• Saturday 1 August – 9am to 4pm
• Sunday 2 August – 9am to 4pm – Announcement of raffle and People’s Choice
