Canopy Artspace

Canopy Artspace combines gallery spaces, artist’s studios, arts organisations, and a printmaking workshop that are dedicated to promoting and showcasing Queensland’s indigenous artists.

In this expansive 1,000 square metre space, collectable contemporary paintings, prints and three dimensional works by internationally recognised artists such as Dennis Nona and Ken Thaiday hang along side those from regional Art Centres and individual artists from the area.

Fronting Grafton Street are three gallery spaces, one an exhibiting gallery, another dedicated to fine art prints and the third showing a wide variety of work from the Network’s stockroom These spaces are run by the Australian Art Network who have been publishing, promoting and exhibiting works by indigenous artists nationally and internationally for the past 15 years.

 To the rear of the complex is the NEWflames Foundation’s workshop space. Here, this not for profit organisation nurtures artistic drive through studio residencies and professional development opportunities. for Australian indigenous artists.

Another indigenous arts industry pioneer, Theo Tremblay has relocated his fine art printmaking studio into Canopy Artspace. Here artists can work on linocuts, etchings, lithographs, screenprints, mono prints and papermaking with this master printmaker.

Arts Nexus, a development body for art and culture in Tropical North Queensland, and the Cairns Regional Council’s Creative Partnership Unit also share space in the complex.
 
This unusual artistic collaboration offers indigenous artists from the region the opportunity to create and present their art as well as providing Cairns visitors and locals an interesting environment in which to view and purchase work by Queensland’s unique indigenous artists.
