PUNQ (Pop Up North Queensland) is a biennial place-making festival which activates and engages with spaces, histories, and futures through art. It celebrates the distinct landscapes of North Queensland to inspire cultural exchange and reimagine expectations, transform perceptions and provide unique creative experiences for locals and visitors alike.
The festival presents immersive journeys across North Queensland on Gurambilbarra / Townsville, Yunbenun / Magnetic Island, Warrgamay, Nywaigi & Bandjin Country / Hinchinbrook and Gudjal Country / Charters Towers.
The festival elevates innovative and exciting arts and cultural practices of the region, while also providing a platform for regional artists to reach new audiences alongside their national and international peers. The site-specific commissions featuring artworks produced by established artists set in significant natural environments of the North Queensland region.
PUNQ is produced by Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts. The festival is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation and receives funding from Creative Australia through the Australian Cultural Fund. Townsville City Council is a funding partner of PUNQ.
