Noosa Regional Gallery is set to host Lost in Palm Springs, a stunning national touring exhibition celebrating the timeless allure of modernist architecture and desert landscapes.
This landmark exhibition, developed by HOTA Gallery (Gold Coast) in partnership with Museums and Galleries Queensland, will be on display from 18 October to 7 December 2025 – with free entry for all visitors.
Curated by award-winning artist and writer Dr Greer Honeywill, Lost in Palm Springs showcases the work of 14 internationally acclaimed artists from Australia and the USA.
Their multidisciplinary works explore the visual and emotional connection between the Californian desert city of Palm Springs and iconic Australian coastal and urban landscapes.
“This has been the project of a lifetime,” Dr Honeywill said.
“I’ve been honoured to work with 14 extraordinary artists, all of whom bring a unique lens to this international architectural conversation.”
Featured artists include: Kate Ballis, Tom Blachford, Darren Bradley, Anna Carey, Sam Cranstoun, Paul Davies, Rosi Griffin, Jim Isermann, Troy Kudlac, Lance O’Donnell, Kim Stringfellow, Vicki Stravrou, Robyn Sweaney, and Gosia Wlodarczak.
The exhibition dives into themes of place and home, Bauhaus influences, imagined and real landscapes, and the revived appeal of mid-century modern design — from Palm Springs and Joshua Tree to Mt Eliza, Mermaid Beach, Canberra, and beyond.
