A Lifetime in Lines: Art and Architecture

The Queanbeyan Hive presents A Lifetime in Lines: Art and Architecture, the first exhibition bringing together paintings, watercolours, life drawings and architectural works by Trevor Gibson.

Opening Night — Friday 2 October

Join us at The Queanbeyan Hive for a special exhibition opening, with live music from Magpie Hill and the Buzz Bar open for the evening.

About the exhibition

A familiar member of the Canberra and Queanbeyan arts communities, including ASOC and the Queanbeyan Art Society, Trevor has pursued art alongside a long career in architecture.

Curated from his personal archive in celebration of his 85th year, the exhibition reveals decades of close observation, inventive design and creative practice—from life drawings and watercolours to architectural plans and projects that have helped shape the local region.

Among the works are Trevor’s 1996 architectural drawings for the site now home to The Queanbeyan Hive, bringing the story rather wonderfully full circle.

The exhibition runs throughout October, with its final weekend forming part of the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Arts Trail — a celebration of artists, studios, galleries and creative spaces across the region.

Exhibition: 2–23 October 2026

Opening Night: Friday 2 October

Live music: Magpie Hill

Gallery open: Fri 5-9pm, Sat-Sun 10am-3pm

Come along for the opening night or visit across the weekends to experience this unique exhibition — a celebration of creativity, connection and community at The Hive.
