Townsville Artist Market

The Townsville Artist Market is a celebration of creativity, community, and local talent. Held in the heart of Townsville, the market brings together painters, sculptors, ceramicists, photographers, textile artists, and makers of all kinds. Visitors can browse unique handmade pieces, meet the artists behind the work, and enjoy live demonstrations, music, and food in a lively, inclusive atmosphere.

This market isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a cultural hub where art lovers and creators connect. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious, the Townsville Artist Market offers something for everyone, from affordable prints to one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

Fundraising for a Community Art Space

The NQ Art Teachers Association Inc is spearheading an inspiring campaign to transform The Townsville Heritage Centre into a dynamic community art space. Their vision is to create a multi-purpose venue that includes:

• 🖼️ A public gallery showcasing local and regional artists

• 🛠️ Workshop studios for classes, creative development, and school programs

• 🛍️ A retail space where artists can sell their work year-round

This initiative aims to preserve the historical charm of the Heritage Centre while breathing new life into it as a creative sanctuary for Townsville’s thriving arts scene.

To bring this vision to life, the NQ Art Teachers Association is raising funds through a series of community-driven events and partnerships, including:

• Special edition Artist Markets with proceeds supporting the renovation

• Cent Sale and raffles featuring donated works from local artists

• Collaborations with businesses to sponsor materials and equipment

Every dollar raised goes directly toward building a space where creativity can flourish, education can thrive, and the community can come together through art.
