The Maud Street Photo Gallery is Brisbane’s Premier Photographic Art Gallery. It was officially opened by Dr. Les Walkling (Ph.D., D.F.A.) on February 8th, 2014
"The birth of a new gallery is always a wonderful occasion. Creative spaces that encourage and engage our finest thoughts, deeds and actions, are still in terribly short supply. We desperately need these spaces; speculative, magical spaces where our ideas and ideals can roam free and collide with other imaginations, hopes and dreams. So it is with enormous pleasure that I declare this inspiring gallery, and it's inaugural exhibitions, open".Dr Les Walkling
