Artists of the North - Cairns Art Society

Venue: Tanks Arts Centre

Sat 5 Apr 2025 - Sun 11 May 2025
Launch: 6pm, Friday 11 April – all welcome.

The Artists of the North exhibition is a presentation of the talent and formidable skills of our region’s artists.

This year’s dynamic theme, Living Colour captures the essence of Cairns as a vibrant, tropical city, brimming with life and colour. Situated near the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, Cairns offers a stunning natural palette that can inspire a celebration of the vibrant interplay between nature, culture, and human creativity. This theme invites artists to explore the concept of Living Colour in a broad sense, from literal interpretations of vivid tropical hues to metaphorical representations of vitality, diversity, and connection.

Artists of the North attracts some of our region’s top artists – painters, sculptors, potters, and photographers – who will display their work in this annual celebration of all things Queensland. Whether you are a local or a visitor, you will find something that delights or intrigues you within this exhibition.

Entries close 20 March.

Launch: 5:30pm, Friday 11 April – all welcome.

Cost: Free
Venue: Tank 4
Open: Mon-Fri 9.00am - 4.30pm, Sat-Sun 10.00am - 2.00pm
