Community is our driving force.
Everything we do as a company is underpinned by the belief that creating artistic works that challenge assumptions through inclusive collaboration ultimately builds stronger communities.

Bring your own project!
Do you have an existing arts project that you are looking to finish? Are you looking to meet up socially with other artists?
Art Party Afternoons recognises all of our unfinished projects (crochet, painting, craft, zine, artist book, comic, scribbles…whatever you are working on!). The monthly art hangs will connect our like minded community to get creative inspo and provide you a place to make.
A gallery just off the street!
Want your own exhibition? Our office has blank walls ready to be adorned with your art! There will be three opportunities in 2022 for artists to have their work exhibited for a month in our street side gallery in the heart of Mackay.
View our art!
Videos created throughout the year will be projected onto Crossroad Arts’ street facing double Window Gallery which is situated in the heart of Mackay’s CBD in the bustling Wood St cafe precinct.
This will not only promote Crossroad Arts programs at night in a high traffic area but will also contribute towards the revitalisation of the City Heart.

Celebrate diversity at our kooky, social and inclusive performance evening!
As well as strutting our stuff on the evening we also ask people to dig deep as LOOSE ENDS is also our annual major fundraiser. Please support us by grabbing a ticket for a night to remember as we showcase performance, music, live painting, dance and quirky antics from a cross section of the community!
