Events & production
Folk, electronic, cross-artform and community events. Projection mapping, décor, flow and fire, shared sound systems.
Who we are
A collective with a long memory for rooms, rigs and people.
Since 31 December 2011 we have brought together the creative community of North Queensland to make a fresh mix of visual and sound art. Multi-format collaborations — music, projections, mapping, visual art, graffiti and sculpture — sit alongside professional production of indoor and outdoor community events.
We work with First Nations communities, families, young people and older people, LGBTIQA+ communities, people with disability, culturally diverse and regional residents — anyone building a creative practice in this part of the country.

QLDWhere we operate
LiveEvents and production
DigitalSkills and publishing
Two currents
Live culture, and the tools to keep it moving after the lights come up.
The rooms have not gone away. What has changed is the expectation that artists, culture workers and community members can also edit, publish, host and get paid online. We are building that second current without dropping the first.
Skills that travel
AI for work, digital arts, editing, social content, websites, simple web apps and hosting your own catalogue.
Equipment hire
Collective-owned production equipment stored and hired to North Queensland arts and community organisations, with board approval.
Programs
Work that already has a name in this region.
Townsville Folk Festival
Support and production around one of the city’s long-running community music gatherings.
Rebound Festival
Electronic and gathering work, including the Rebound Gathering on Nywaigi Country at Mungalla Station with Rootbound.
NIMBUS
An experimental cluster of music, theatre, visual art and installation — a rave from the clouds, hosted in reimagined Townsville rooms.
Long Tan Masters — Townsville
Community recreation programming that sits beside the arts work rather than instead of it.
Digital era
Teaching the stack that turns a set, a mural or a film into income.
Workshops cover practical AI for work and career, digital arts, basic video and image editing, content creation, vlogging and uploading, basic website making and deployment, introductory web app development, and hosting your own work. The point is not novelty. The point is a living.
We also watch digital grants and nonprofit software deals — Canva, Adobe, Microsoft, ElevenLabs, Goodstack and others — so beneficiaries and the organisation can use tools that used to sit behind a paywall.
Work with us
Artists, volunteers, venues and funders.
