Artspace Mackay facility maintenance

The Artspace Mackay team have returned to our regional gallery and are excited to be rolling out workshops, programs and activities once more.

The facility was closed since late 2023, to complete maintenance works.

The works included new flooring, walls and a state-of-the-art climate air control system to ensure the facility remains a AAA-rated international standard gallery long into the future.

JMac has completed the garden refresh around Artspace and Foodspace, creating a low-maintenance landscape that aligns with the building’s architectural lines.
Some of the new additions include Cooper's Tree Fern, Liriope Amethyst and Lomandra Katie Belles. The new ground covers and ferns have been surrounded by red scoria to improve drainage around the building.
The access to both Artspace and Foodspace has been returned to normal.
You can now overlook the fresh new landscape while you enjoy money tea or lunch.

The new landscape design will align with the architectural lines of the Artspace building to improve the facade and minimise maintenance requirements.
Contractor, JMac, will begin the updates on Monday, February 3. The work is expected to be completed late-February, weather permitting.
Work will take place from Monday to Friday, 6.30am to 5pm.
Both Artspace and Foodspace will remain open with outdoor dining still available.
Entry to Artspace and Foodspace will be available via the side entrance.
The grassed areas surrounding the building will be cordoned off while the work is underway. Please follow any signage on site.
Some intermittent noise and dust disturbances may occur while this work is underway.
Thank you for your patience while the work is under way.
