A Place Based Contemporary Art Festival
North Queensland, Australia
23 September - 11 October 2026

Saturday 10 October 8am–5pm

Magnetic Island Art Market

Join us on the closing weekend of PUNQ Festival at Magnetic International Resort, where we transform the resort reception into a vibrant marketplace celebrating the creativity of Yunbenun / Magnetic Island and North Queensland.

Discover original artworks, limited-edition prints, handmade objects and artist-designed wares. Bringing together local artists and makers from across North Queensland, the market offers an opportunity to meet the people behind the work and purchase directly from those who create it.

Set against the tropical backdrop of Yunbenun / Magnetic Island, the market invites art lovers, collectors and curious visitors alike to explore unique works, support regional creative practice and be part of the vibrant atmosphere of PUNQ Festival.
