South Burnett artist Julie Tomlinson has works in Gallery 3 at Wondai … her work “At Dawn” was voted People’s Choice winner on opening night; the artwork, which honours her family’s military service, is deeply personal as she has incorporated her father’s ashes into a section of the artwork<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 7, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The results of a unique challenge to create an artwork every week – and document the process – are at the Wondai Regional Art Gallery this month.<\/p>\n

The “Artists Of Crows Nest” group created a 20-week challenge for their members in 2022. The artists received their artistic task by email on a Sunday and then had a week to create it as well as craft an entry in an A5 journal to complement the process.<\/p>\n

In 2025, they did it again – with some new members in their ranks – for 15 weeks.<\/p>\n

The mystery tasks challenged the artists to try new styles, tempted out of their comfort zones.<\/p>\n

The outcome of the 28 artists’ challenge tasks and colourful journals have taken over Wondai’s Main Gallery for May.<\/p>\n

In the front gallery, artists Kay Vidler and Meg Stevenson have “Clay And Glass”, ie pottery works and glass art.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kay describes her self as an “old school potter” who has been experimenting recently with different clays and different glazes.<\/p>\n

Meg has also been experimenting, this time with glass, and “just having fun” with her glass creations.<\/p>\n

South Burnett artist Julie Tomlinson has deeply personal works in Gallery 3, exploring life and emotions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her Anzac-themed work “At Dawn” was named People’s Choice winner on opening night on May 1.<\/p>\n

Works by students from St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Murgon are in Kidz Korner.<\/p>\n

The exhibitions will remain on display until 3:00pm on May 30.<\/p>\n

The gallery is open from 10:00am to 3:00pm, seven days a week. Entry is free.<\/p>\n
