    The Manly Gallery is in the perfect spot in my opinion. If I don't have anything on of a Sunday…read moremorning, my favourite sequence of events is to grab a coffee from the Celtic Corner, wander through the Manly markets and admire the artwork on display in the Manly Gallery, looking out for new pieces on display. And all this practically on the same block, right on the harbour. The gallery has on show and for sale, artwork, paintings, sculpture and various other bits and pieces from local artists. Although there is a range of subjects, the overall feel of the gallery is local and water themed, making it a one of a kind in my opinion. Artists vary but include Christopher Pope, Pat Tolcher and my favourite, Karen Atkins.

    I love small galleries which support and help nurture local talent. I realise it's not all…read morealtruistic, but there's a love for art emanating from small galleries and this one's no exception. Not too pretentious, Manly Gallery has some lovely works by local artists, some of whom have been creating fabulous littoral works in the Bayside for years. It's not all about the ocean, though; there are some lovely prortraits, sculpture and jewellery to check out too. This gallery has recently changed hands and I'm sure the enthusiasm to keep it relevant and vibrant is as strong as ever. Why not combine a weekend browse through the gallery with a visit to the Manly markets, brunch or fish and chips by the harbour?

    I headed to Jan Murphy Gallery for a "drinks with the artist" evening on a Thursday night. The…read moregallery is open late on a Thursday and if they've got a new exhibition in, they sometimes host an evening similar to this. People are invited to come to the gallery between 5pm and 7pm and to enjoy the works over a drink and to have a chat to the artist. The laid back event was extremely accessible. I walked in and was greeted by a friendly staff member and the smiling faces of around 15 people. I was offered a drink (which I of course accepted) and walked around, taking in the wonderful artwork that surrounded me. The artwork was beautiful. The oil paintings were a mix of still life and landscapes and were exhibited with a great amount of skill. I chatted to the artist, the gallery manager and a couple of other people for the 45 minutes I was there. Having the chance to talk to the painter about his works gave the pieces much more dimension and I was impressed with his process. As I walked around, I brainstormed event ideas, as I know it can be used for private hire if the concept it right. The gallery itself is a beautiful space. It's small, but it's white walls and high ceilings gave me a feeling of being close to the art, something that is often lost in larger galleries.

    It's not easy being an art gallery in Brisbane. We unfortunately don't seem to buy enough art…read morewhich is a real shame as there are some amazing local artists here. What that translates to is a fairly transient gallery scene. It takes a real gem to survive for any substantial amount of time - and one of those gems is Jan Murphy. Her gallery has been in it's Brunswick St location since the early / mid 90's and it has survived due to its clever exhibition mix of cutting edge, cool and classic. No matter what's on show there's always something beautiful, something kooky and something thought provoking - so essentially something for everyone.
