We’re back for 2022

17 - 30 September 2022

We're back in 2022 with the Whitsundays Arts Festival and our truly unique event that celebrates all forms of art throughout the Whitsundays community!

The Festival offers a platform for creatives to showcase their talents to local, interstate, and international audiences, and for our community locals to get involved in workshops, competitions and the Handmade Art Markets. In our third year, the Festival will be reimagined into an event that takes place in multiple venues around the Whitsundays. The 2022 Festival will explore the theme of “Memories,” reflected in our 2022 Art Prize Exhibition, our workshops, and our events.

“Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.” - Elie Wiesel

There are lots of exciting new events in the works, including a Songwriters Residency and workshops; art installations with artists-in-residence; art workshops for all ages; the 2022 Whitsundays Arts Prize Exhibition; sculpture, music, performance, film, and so much more.

We invite you to join for this great celebration which is getting bigger and better by the year!
