ABOUT THE GALLERY.....
The 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. The Gallery is part of Noosa Gallery Trail, Noosa Country Drive & the Sunshine Coast Art Gallery Trail.
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 local art 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.
The Signal Room displays paintings by artists of the Noosa Region.
All the art is for sale and the exhibition is refreshed every 6 weeks.
Artist of the Month for 2D and 3D is also in this room and is
sponsored by the Pomona Gallery Artists and Friends Group.

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 proven 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.
