--- The 35th Anniversary CQUniversity Art Collection Exhibition has been curated by the University's Art Collection Manager, Sue Smith, who will introduce each of the pieces during a special exhibition evening from 6pm (for a 6.30pm start) on June 18. 

Ms Smith said the Visions and Portaits theme features "artworks which seek an understanding of ourselves, others and the activities and world we share".

"Places of Australia features realistic and abstract works which reflect the unique flora, fauna and environments and striking landscapes - tranquil, dynamic and vibrant - of Australia."
