Artspace Mackay is an inspirational art gallery situated in an award-winning architecturally designed building. Centrally located in the city's cultural precinct, the gallery has a vibrant exhibition program, contemporary gift shop and alfresco cafe. At its inception, the gallery inherited a significant collection of artists books. Now the third largest in Australia, the collection has grown through the gallery's national artist book competition, The Libris Awards. Artspace Mackay presents an exciting and engaging range of activities and events for all ages throughout the year. Rock Paper Scissors Art and Design Market held every July is a highlight in the gallery's calendar. The event provides a platform for local artists and designers to showcase their work.
