The University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) is currently showcasing two compelling exhibitions, each offering a unique glimpse into the artistic and historical facets of the institution.

In Focus: Portraits from the UniSQ Art Collection, curated by UniSQ Curator (Arts and Exhibitions) Brodie Taylor, is on display at the UniSQ Art Gallery until 23 August.

This exhibition delves into the evolving nature of portraiture, featuring an array of works from traditional oil paintings to contemporary digital portraits.

The selection highlights the richness and complexity of contemporary Australian portraiture, aiming to spark conversations about its enduring relevance in the field of modern art.

Visitors can view hidden gems from the UniSQ Art Collection, many of which are being publicly displayed for the first time.

Students @ UniSQ, hosted by the UniSQ Historical Archives, is now open at the UniSQ Toowoomba Library (Level 3).

This exhibition offers a fascinating retrospective on student life at the University, showcasing photographs, articles, and memorabilia from graduations, orientation weeks, open days, and other student activities spanning several decades.

This collection not only chronicles the history of student engagement but also celebrates the vibrant and diverse culture that has flourished at UniSQ over the years.

Both exhibitions provide unique insights into the cultural and historical tapestry of the University of Southern Queensland, inviting visitors to explore and reflect on the University's rich legacy and ongoing contributions to the arts and education.
