    Footsteps Gallery

    Housed within the old School of Arts, a short walk east of King George Sq, is the Footsteps Gallery, established to support emerging artists from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. It hosts monthly exhibitions of Indigenous art and is one of the better spots for purchasing handmade Aboriginal souvenirs.
