Welcome to ARTSHOP ▪ Toowoomba

Romantic reflections on eight years together. Thank you @gipstoowoomba for creating a dreamy date in wonderful Clifford House for our anniversary 💕 @bellebouquets you’re so gifted! Thank you!

I’m thankful for eight wonderful years with my John. Every day, he encourages me, takes interest in me, seeks my opinion, enjoys my company, shares my joys + challenges + sorrows, appreciates our shared values, delights in our differences, involves me in his world. I pinch myself! What a prince. 🙏💙🥂

It is our privilege to support the Toowoomba Studio Art Trail—an annual event that opens doors and invites our community to wander, discover, and be inspired. This month, local artists are welcoming us into their studios, each offering an intimate glimpse into their practice. From ceramics to printmaking, oil and watercolour painting, textiles, and sculpture—together, these artists contribute to a diverse landscape of both traditional and contemporary art practices and material explorations. @toowoomba_studio_art_trail studios will be open every weekend in September, 10 am–4 pm, aligned with the @toowoombacarnivalflowers and @downlandsart We are so grateful to walk alongside this event and support the artists who enrich our community. #artconservation #artframing #artrestoration #artshoptoowoomba #australianartists #bespokeframing #carnivalofflowers #customframing #darlingdowns #handcraftedframes #museumstandardframing #pictureframing #supportlocal #toowoomba #toowoombaart #toowoombaartist #toowoombacreatives #toowoombalife #toowoombalocal #toowoombaregion #toowoombaregionartgalleries

ARTSHOP is delighted to support artists @petaberghofer, @oldmaterubykate and @sarah_ryan_ in their ‘The Art of Escape’ exhibition. Working across ceramics, design and photography, these three distinct artists collaboratively respond to the multifaceted theme of the escape. Now on display at Crows Nest Gallery from 3 September to 5 October 2025, with a 'Meet the Artists' event on tomorrow, Saturday 6 September, 1–3 pm—an opportunity to hear how collaboration has shaped their artistic practices. We are sure this will be a richly imagined exhibition with much to discover. The ARTSHOP team sends our warmest wishes to the artists for this multi-form celebration of artistic expression.

"Where flowers bloom, so does hope" A truly beautiful work entitled 'Hope' by @petracross_art. Petra says, “Hope is a quiet study of light, touch, and nature. A hand reaches for a flower gently, set against a warm backdrop. It speaks to the fleeting beauty of small moments and the quiet strength found in them.” As Toowoomba prepares to bloom for the Carnival of Flowers, this reminds us that the annual and renowned RME Downlands Art Exhibition @downlandsart is just around the corner. ARTSHOP is once again delighted and privileged to sponsor this progressive and thoughtful exhibition, curated by our own @evanh1965. His expertise and curatorial vision—together with the exceptional exhibiting artists—continue to elevate the calibre of the catalogue and enrich the exhibition experience. We are so looking forward to what will be revealed and celebrated at the 2025 RME Downlands Art Exhibition this September (20–24)!

So great to see my beautiful friend last night. 💕

Art and friendship 💕 Sulman, Archibald and Wynne, here we come.

Observatory Hill, Sydney 🔭

Community, craftsmanship, and incredible generosity recently came together in a truly special collaboration when our friends @hogansfamilyjewellers requested ARTSHOP Toowoomba’s expertise to custom frame a delicate illustration that formed part of their extraordinary donation to the 2025 LifeFlight Toowoomba gala: the sublime Nightingale Dress Ring. Undoubtedly inspired by the legacy of Florence Nightingale—and the symmetry between her pioneering spirit and LifeFlight’s brave, lifesaving care, rescue, and recovery in our region—the stunning, one-of-a-kind Nightingale Dress Ring was created by award-winning jeweller Keelie Sander (aka @keelie.skou). Drawing on the gala’s ‘gold’ theme, this true heirloom piece was admired and coveted by the hundreds of ‘balloon pop’ ticket holders who hoped to make it their own. Adding to its beauty, Keelie hand-painted a gouache illustration of the Nightingale Dress Ring, which we honoured with a custom frame using museum-grade techniques: hand-finished, ornate Italian gold leaf moulding, paired with miniature frame edging a black cotton mat window, and TruVue Museum Glass to preserve and protect. Beyond showcasing fine craftsmanship, this collaboration reflects the generosity of our community and its shared commitment to making a meaningful difference. Thank you to Hogans for such a meaningful contribution and for your partnership always—and thank you, Toowoomba, for your incredible support for LifeFlight’s vital work. 🔗 To read more about the story behind these exquisite pieces, visit our blog via the Linktree link in our bio. #ARTSHOPToowoomba #HogansFamilyJewellers #LifeFlightToowoomba #JewelleryArt #CommunitySupport #SupportingLifeFlight #GoldenSouthSeaPearl #ArtForACause #Nightingales #FlorenceNightingale #CustomFraming #ArtFraming #BespokeFraming #PictureFraming #FramedArt #FrameDesign #ConservationFraming #MuseumQualityFraming #MuseumStandardFraming #HandcraftedFrames #ProfessionalFraming

🎨 The Many Facets of Community Through Art A facet is one of the many sides of something greater — a point of reflection, or a polished surface of a gem, crafted to catch the light. At ARTSHOP Toowoomba, we’re inspired by how our Customers reflect the many facets of our community — its stories, voices, people, places and perspectives. From collectors whose lives are enriched by original works of art and craft, to the artists who bring them to life, and the treasured objects families entrust us to preserve, we celebrate the ways art connects us to our experiences, emotions, and memories. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the Fairholme Open Art Prize – FACETS once again, an exhibition that places artists and community at its heart. Now in its ninth year, this local yet far-reaching exhibition will bring together carefully curated works by artists not only from our region, but also from across the country and beyond. We’re thrilled to stand alongside fellow sponsors, organisers, volunteers, judges, and of course, our wonderful artists in supporting this wonderful community event. 📅 Exhibition Dates: 10–11 May 2025 at Fairholme College Don’t miss Opening Night on 9 May, the Artists in Conversation Breakfast on 10 May, and the captivating Live Portrait Competition.

ARTSHOP Welcomes Evan Hollis. I am delighted to warmly welcome Mr. Evan Hollis to the ARTSHOP team this week. Evan is well known within the arts communities of Southeast Queensland and beyond, most notably and impressively through his dedicated, skilful and successful curation and management of the Downlands College Art Exhibition, since 2006. Evan’s diversity of interests and capabilities make him a wonderful fit for ARTSHOP as a custom picture framer and designer. He is highly respected for his artistic and design talents, particularly as a printmaker and sculptor. With a deep knowledge of art and arts education, Evan is a valued figure among students, educational colleagues, artists and collectors. His passion for theatre set design and construction is another creative outlet, showcasing his imaginative vision and mechanical dexterity. Importantly, Evan is known for his love of community. This, along with his warm, generous, service-oriented personality, make Evan so appealing and we are excited to work together in service of our loyal clients.

LONDON As a fine example of photography as a storyteller and art form, this collation of treasures from Sir Elton John and David Furnish’s private collection is beautiful and so interesting. As a picture framer who has cared for, designed and created the framed environments for photographs for decades through @artshoptoowoomba and prior in Sydney, I loved this exhibition. Great style and workmanship. @vamuseum

At the forefront is Garth Hamilton MP, his family, his hardworking team and the LNP - Liberal National Party faithful, gathered today at the beautiful and well-kept Toowoomba Bowls Club Inc. My husband John and I are proud to support these committed and enduring efforts, to help sustain and encourage our city’s culture whilst we all navigate the balance between tradition and innovative progress. It’s great to have a brave, trustworthy, intelligent and philanthropic leader at the helm. Go Garth!!

For the love of GRAPHICS! @posterhousenyc you rocked my world (you know you did) with your supercool collection of NYC travel posters, ‘Wonder City of the World’ I particularly appreciated the framing of the Zepplin. Check it out @richanddavis nice, huh. @annaeheaton you’d love @posterhousenyc
