Curatorial staff at the new Home of the Arts Art Gallery on the Gold Coast positioned the first artwork of the gallery this week.

CEO of the gallery, Criena Gehrke, said the painting’s unexpected viewpoints and moments of surprise inspired the gallery building's design, but also served as a metaphor for the curatorial approach.    

Mayor Tom Tate said the gallery is a reflection of the Gold Coast's personality. 

The gallery officially opens on May 8th.
