A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GALLERY

​The Old Pomona Railway Station Gallery is located in the Noosa hinterland town of Pomona. 
Surrounded by lush gardens with a backdrop of Mount Cooroora, the gallery is a community run space committed to serving local artists and crafts persons.
 
When the original railway station was scheduled to be demolished by Queensland Rail, community spirit rallied and the locals worked together to acquire the buildings, moving them from the railway line to its place now. 
 
Since opening in March 2001 the gallery has grown from two buildings to now five, creating unique
spaces for creative art and crafts.
 
Entirely staffed by volunteers, the gallery thrives on selling art, facilitating workshops and providing
​a wealth of local information for tourists.

​SIGNAL ROOM

The Signal Room was moved across as part of the transfer of buildings from the station to where the gallery is now. 
During transport the building collapsed, it was discovered that it had a termite infestation.   
Jan, a key volunteer on the project, decided to rebuild the room and add an
extension – creating a much bigger space for the gallery.
 
We use this room to display paintings, drawings and woodwork. 
All the art is for sale and the exhibition is refreshed every 8 weeks. 

​Towards the back of the room is display of Artist of the Month,
​run by the Pomona Gallery Artists and Friends Group.

STATION MASTER'S ROOM

​The Station Master Room is one of the original buildings from the old station. 
No longer a place for the Station Master, it now houses art work from local artists.  
On display and available to purchase is a range of work including calligraphy, ceramics,
​glass work, drawings, postcards and handmade gift cards.

A perfect place to find a gift for someone or be inspired to create your own art!

BANANA SHED

Our Banana Shed has exhibitions by local artists, changing every 4 weeks, so there is always something
new to see on each time you visit.
 
The Pomona Gallery Artists and Friends manage this space and use it for theirmonthly meetings.

​Workshops are held here, as the large open interior makes it perfect for teaching and creating.

Artists or craftspeople are welcome to use the Banana Shed for small workshops or gatherings.
​To hold a workshop, the fee is 15% of the total cost. 
​To hold a gathering $2 per person or $15 for more than five people.

Fees to hire for an exhibition
$75 for solo 
$100 for group 
​The gallery takes 30% commission on sales

CARRIAGE EXHIBITION ROOM

A rescued rail car donated by Queensland Rail several years ago forms our Carriage Exhibition Room.  
Due to the efforts of locals and large cranes, the carriage was brought to the gallery property.
Funds were acquired through grants for transport, cleaning and fixing up to make an excellent space for art.

The Carriage Exhibition Room has proved extremely successful for many local artists and
​craftspeople who have had solo or group exhibitions.

Fees to hire the space for an exhibition
$100 for solo
$150 for group
The gallery takes 30% ​commission of sales
​
Each exhibition has a festive opening and is on display for four weeks.

THE BLACKSMITH SHOP  

​This building is a fine replica of a slab hut, built by Jan Hubner, a dedicated volunteer from the inception of the gallery.

There is a new resident this year.  Local artist and designer Jae Moore is the proprietor
and her  Wayward Goat Design  has a new home!
She opens:
Wednesdays to Saturdays
Plants, ceramics and hand designed one off fabrics for sale... 
Check out her gorgeous fabric designs on Facebook.

A resident artist adds a whole new dimension for the gallery.
