Gympie’s stories told through tea towels

The Gympie Regional Gallery and Gympie Regional Libraries are working together to share a community tea towel exhibition!

The story of the Gympie region will be celebrated throughout the month of November with a local tea towel exhibition at selected Gympie Regional Libraries: Gympie, Goomeri and Tin Can Bay.

Do you have a Gympie region tea towel tucked away in a linen cupboard? Perhaps a commemorative tea towel with a special story? Let us know!

Deliver your tea towels to the Gympie Regional Gallery by 19 October to be included in a community exhibition. The Gallery is open Tuesday – Friday 10am – 4pm and Saturday 10am - 2pm. Unable to deliver your tea towel to us? Call 07 5481 0733.

The Community tea towel display will be on show at selected Gympie Regional Libraries: Gympie, Goomeri and Tin Can Bay from 1 – 29 November.
