Special Events

“glaskins gallery”, previously located in Trinity Beach, Cairns, Queensland, was relocated in January 2012, in partnership with ARTSense, to gallery space at The Pier at the Marina, Pier Point Road on the Cairns Esplanade foreshore. The gallery exhibits Australian Indigenous, Polynesian and TI artwork, artifacts and merchandise.

"glaskins gallery is owned by Garry "Flange Irukandji Llewellyn Glaskin of Trinity Park in Cairns, Queensland.
 
Its principal art works are by the Glaskin family, including gallery curator, artist and director, Garry "Flange Irukandji" Glaskin and his mother, Lyla Joan Hume, both born in Western Australia and of Bibbulum and Wardandi descent. The online gallery also features works by highly regarded local artist, Christopher Chua, who has exhibited and sold his artwork both overseas and locally. 

The other featured artist is Thomas Storrie, a local Cairns Indigenous artist. Indigenous artist like George Ward Tjungurrayi, Rosemary Petyarre, and Queenie Kemarre are also exhibited in the gallery.

The gallery was formerly located within the “Sails at Trinity Beach" complex at 22-24 Trinity Beach Road, alongside Blue Moon Grill, six times dual state finalist in the Far North Queensland Restaurants and Caterers Association. The former gallery was also opposite The Lime Tree. Both Blue Moon Grill and The Lime Tree have the most relaxing atmospheres and offers a vast array of international and local produce. Some of our artwork is featured for sale in both restaurants.

The new “glaskins gallery”/ARTSense gallery also provides a relaxed atmosphere to view the artwork, amidst comfortable air conditioned lounge seating and resort facilities, where one can sit and relax, whilst enjoying a short black or cappuccino with a light refreshment in the resort complex foyer.

Whether a home decorator, art lover or serious collector, “glaskins gallery”/ARTSense will have that piece of art you are looking for. 

Garry Glaskin was also the founder of Trinity Picininis of Aboriginal Creative Art in Australia, which devoted it`s artistic expertise to the re-education of our children in Aboriginal Trinity and Polynesian lore through art, music, film and story telling.

"glaskins gallery" would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal members of our community by acknowledging the traditional Yirriganydji owners of this land.

Acknowledgement also to our Aboriginal Trinity people, the Jidinji, Gimoy and Tjpakai clans.
