Art Exhibition | Quiet Corners by Joy DeCastillo/in , /

15 May 2025 to 12 Jul 2025. Next Date: 18 Jun 2025

by

Discover the quiet beauty of everyday moments at Warwick Art Gallery with ‘Quiet Corners’ by Joy DeCastillo.

‘Quiet Corners’ presents a collection of still life paintings by Joy DelCastillo that reflect her enduring fascination with the quiet beauty of the everyday. DelCastillo’s practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for nature, form, and colour, and in how light and shadow can transform the mood and meaning of a composition.

Through her considered use of acrylics, a medium she favours for its vibrancy and flexibility, DelCastillo explores familiar objects with an intimate gaze. Working on stretched canvas, gessoed board, linen, and more recently, stretched hemp fabric, she captures ceramics, fabrics, botanicals, and domestic items, revealing the subtle poetry found within ordinary moments.

Creating art is a transportive experience for DelCastillo. It becomes a process that dissolves both time and the self. Each painting emerges as a space where emotion and atmosphere surface unexpectedly, often surprising even the artist herself. In Quiet Corners, she invites viewers into this contemplative space, where light and shadow elevate the commonplace, and where colour and composition evoke feelings of nostalgia, curiosity, and quiet delight.

This exhibition is open from the 15 May until 12 July 2025

Reconnect with the natural world through soft pastel works in ‘Come Stay a While’ at Warwick Art Gallery.

‘Come Stay a While – where trees do the talking’ is a reflective exhibition by artists Louise Corke and Petra Daecke. Through soft pastel paintings and poetic reflections, the exhibition explores the healing, peace, and sense of wholeness that trees can offer.

At the heart of the exhibition are the personal relationships each artist has formed with specific trees, relationships that unfold as visual stories within the gallery space. Visitors are encouraged to slow down, explore the works at their own pace, and experience moments of quiet contemplation inspired by the natural landscape.

Grounded in the belief that our connection to trees is a shared human experience, the exhibition encourages reflection on nature as a source of strength. Corke and Daecke have also invited community members to contribute their own tree stories—through poetry, prose, or pictures—adding personal voices to this collective celebration of the natural world.

The exhibition is open 29 May to the 5 July 2025

Warwick Heritage Trail/in /by

As one of Queensland’s earliest settlements, Warwick is home to some of the State’s most interesting European history. Gazetted in 1847, Warwick’s first land sales occurred in 1850. As the town became established, stone from local quarries was used to construct the many fine sandstone public and private buildings for which Warwick is justly famous. After 1900, a second building boom gave Warwick a legacy of many fine Federation-era timber and brick buildings. Travel back in time with this walk that will take you past some of Warwick’s most grand heritage buildings. The best way to find and admire all of this magnificent architecture is with the official Southern Downs Visitor App.

SDSR volunteers have restored carriages, a rail car, manual rail carts and so much more and have a beautifully presented museum full of amazing memories.

A not-for-profit organisation, most of the restoration work has been completed by ‘work for the dole’ participants. They have restored and re-built the locomotive sheds, workshops, water tower, repairs to the turntable, relaying of railway lines and erecting fencing. Now that the work is completed, volunteers have put up their hands to continue the restoration of the old railway carriages.
