The Mareeba Arts Society is hosting a "Meet the Artist" afternoon tea this Sunday as part of an exhibition by artist Julie Daniel. Her work, inspired by her Karnak heritage and life in Far North Queensland, features themes of the Coral Sea and will be on display at the society's location next to 100 Park on Byrnes Street until the end of the month.
This event highlights the role of local art societies in fostering community engagement with visual art, particularly by showcasing Indigenous and culturally specific perspectives. It underscores the importance of grassroots, independent journalism in covering regional cultural events that might otherwise go unnoticed.
