PUNQ Art Laneway
Come for the artwork, stay for the party.
Kick off the opening weekend of PUNQ Festival at PUNQ Art Laneway—where we fill Flinders Laneway with contemporary art, makers and creatives from across Gurambilbarra / Townsville.
Browse original artworks, handcrafted objects and artist-designed stalls, meet the artists behind the work and purchase directly from local creatives. From painting, printmaking and ceramics to sculpture, textiles, jewellery and more, PUNQ Art Laneway is a celebration of North Queensland's diverse creative community.
Start your morning with coffee and a wander through the market, or drop in later for a cocktail, and DJ’s. Whether you're an art collector, curious visitor or simply looking for something different, PUNQ Art Laneway is the perfect place to discover local creativity and celebrate the opening of PUNQ Festival.
