Space Cowboy Lights Up Gallery 8: A Powerful Opening Night Exhibition

Last night, Gallery 8 officially launched the Space Cowboy Opening Exhibition, and the response was nothing short of electric. With a packed house of art lovers, collectors,and local supporters, the opening night transformed Gallery 8 into a vibrant hub of contemporary art, live performance, and immersive experiences.

The evening featured two unforgettable live performances, captivating guests with an extraordinary blend of fork bending, sword swallowing, and mind-reading. These boundary-pushing acts brought theatrical energy to the space, perfectly complementing the bold artworks on display.

A major highlight of the night was the introduction of AR (Augmented Reality) artworks, adding an exciting interactive layer to the exhibition. Guests were able to engage with selected works through their devices, experiencing art that moved beyond the canvas and into the digital realm. The AR elements sparked curiosity, conversation, and a strong sense of innovation — reinforcing Gallery 8’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

The Space Cowboy Opening Exhibition marks a standout moment in Gallery 8’s exhibition program and further establishes the venue as a destination for contemporary art exhibitions, AR art experiences, and live creative events on the Gold Coast.

AR Art for your wall

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the artists. We look forward to welcoming you back to Gallery 8 for upcoming exhibitions, AR showcases, artist talks, and curated cultural events.
