| Strand Ephemera | |
Every second year the gallery presents Strand Ephemera which is hosted for ten days on The Strand, Townsville. The project began in 2001 in response to the redevelopment of the Strand esplanade in Townsville, and as an effort to increase the public’s awareness of public art. Sculpture artworks are exhibited over the two kilometre beachfront strip. Complimenting the exhibition are a range of related activities such as guided tours, performances, art workshops, artists' talks and a public art forum.

Famous quotes containing the word strand:
“Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesn’t look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, “we will all die”, and she calls on the good Lord.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
