PUNQ 2021

Festival Dates: 30 July – 8 August 2021

Pop Up North Queensland (PUNQ) is a ten-day place-making visual and performance art festival. The festival will engage audiences with exhibitions, site-specific installations, performances and workshops by North Queensland artists in pop-up art spaces. PUNQ has run biennially in 2017 and 2019, and this year PUNQ is expanding across the region, partnering with local arts and cultural tourism organisations in Townsville, Charters Towers, Ingham and on Magnetic Island to showcase and support local artists and creatives.

We are no longer seeking proposals for Pop Up North Queensland 2021.
