Sights and sounds of the rainforest, the allure of nearby islands and fringing reefs, the magnificent and diverse flora and fauna of the wet tropics – it's this relaxed coastal environment of Mission Beach which offers an endless backdrop of creativity and inspiration for our region’s diverse artists and authors.

Tucked amongst the neighbouring aquatic centre, sporting fields and pedestrian & bike-friendly footpaths of MARCS Park, sits a welcoming and inspiring creative & cultural hub. It’s here, at the Mission Beach Community Arts Centre, that the heart of a volunteer, the soul of an artist, and the spirit of a community come alive.

Where hobbyists, emerging artists, and established artists co-create and connect. Where residents and visitors are welcomed and encouraged to linger, to browse, to participate. Where lovers of art connect and engage with those that create. And where makers of art indulge their passion in a range of creative pursuits.
