Art Spotlight: "Pigeon Teeth" Opening Day

For those who prefer visual storytelling, today marks the official opening of a unique new exhibition within the Toowoomba Regional gallery network. Local artist Aaron Hine debuts his latest collection, titled "Pigeon Teeth," at the Rosalie Gallery. This imaginative exhibition features a series of ink and acrylic works, with each piece presented as a single frame in a larger, unfolding tale. It is a fantastic opportunity to support home-grown talent and witness how regional artists are pushing creative boundaries. The gallery provides a reflective space to enjoy these works on their first day of public display before the official artist events scheduled for the coming weekend.

Professional Development: Supervision Skills Workshop

It isn’t all about the arts today; the community’s professional and health sectors are also active. Southern Queensland Rural Health (SQRH) is hosting a full-day workshop titled "Master Your Supervision Skills." Beginning at 8:30 AM, this session is designed for local practitioners looking to refine their leadership and mentorship capabilities. Held at the SQRH Toowoomba campus, the workshop serves as a vital hub for community connection and professional growth for those working across the Darling Downs.

Mid-Week Community Vibes

Beyond these scheduled events, Wednesday is a great day to visit the Toowoomba City Library or take a stroll through the Botanic Gardens at Queens Park to enjoy the summer greenery. While the weekend markets are still a few days away, the city’s central cafe culture is in full swing, offering the perfect backdrop for a mid-week catch-up between events.
