Dudley Denny City Library to host Artspace Mackay pop-up

The Artspace Mackay team will have a new home over the holiday period as the regional gallery undergoes critical facility maintenance works.

The curatorial team will be setting up in the Dudley Denny City Library quiet space to allow them to deliver some fascinating public programs and work on the Mackay Regional Council Art Collection.

Artspace Mackay will close from Monday, December 4 2023, to late June 2024.

This closure will extend to both the gallery and Foodspace Café.

Mayor Greg Williamson said Artspace Mackay was a AAA-rated, international standard gallery space that had just celebrated its 20th birthday.

“We need to ensure our regional gallery can maintain that rating and international standard, so we can continue to attract and secure high-profile exhibitions,” Mayor Williamson said.

“Building improvement works will focus on ensuring the internal cooling systems are renewed and in peak condition,” he said.

Artspace Mackay director Tracey Heathwood said during the closure the team were taking the opportunity to deliver their regular programming out in the community.

“We are investigating some alternative venues across the region, especially in rural localities,” Ms Heathwood said.

“The BMA Kidspace, Conversations with Art, Kids Art Club, Art and Memory and Artists’ Book of the Month programs will continue to run and we will update the details and locations of these on our website and social media as soon as possible.

“One location we have already locked in is North Eton CWA Hall, which will host our Christmas BMA Kidspace activities on Tuesday, December 5.”
