NorthSite Contemporary Arts is a leading art organisation, gallery, studio, and store, situated in Gimuy/Cairns, Queensland.
Our galleries are located within the Bulmba-ja Arts Centre. We present over 30 high-quality exhibitions and projects each year, that inspire and engage our community. We support over 500 contemporary artists through our exhibitions, programs, and retail, collaborating with a wide network of partners to showcase significant contemporary art and design from across Far North Queensland, including the Gulf, Cape York, Torres Strait, Australia and linking with partners across the Asia Pacific region.
The NorthSite Store offers a curated selection of fine art prints by leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, alongside a diverse array of unique jewellery, paintings, objects, and publications. Our collection showcases locally sourced, high-quality artworks that celebrate the vibrant creativity of our region.
NorthSite Art Studios in Edge Hill is the only professional printmaking facility of its kind in Far North Queensland, fostering community collaboration, artistic development and creative technology.
From our beginnings as an artist-driven collective to becoming a leading contemporary arts institution, our artists remain at the heart of everything we do.
