Artspace in Mackay which I visited in June 2016 had a selection of interesting contemporary exhibitions, educational and child friendly exhibits, jewellery and a very good dining area with lovely outdoor area for children.
Easy to keep in touch and see what’s coming up http://www.artspacemackay.com.au/whats_on/future_exhibitions or by joining their Friends of the Gallery.
This is in a beautiful building which in itself is a sculpture by Michael Rayner, Cox Rayner Architects from Brisbane.
