the best of our regions artistry
Port Douglas Artists Inc. was established in 2015, as a collective hub of professional creatives living in the region, but it’s origins go much further back.
The brainchild of the late artist, Jill Booth, whose Gallery of Fine Art and ArtHouse Workshops supported and celebrated local artists throughout the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, this collective of established, practicing artists were skilled in a range of mediums: textiles and fabrics from Linda Jackson, printmaking from Anna Curtis, watercolour & sketching from Gail Shaw, glass artistry from Marie and Ola Holland, and painters including Terry Johnson, Tania Heben and Jill Booth, all originally tutoring workshops via ArtHouse and presenting exhibitions; notably the Low Isles Exhibitions of 2007 & 2008, and launching the renowned GoTroppo at the Port Douglas Sugarwharf, in 2008.
Formally becoming an incorporated body in 2015, Port Douglas Artists Inc. launched with an original membership of 14 local artists, and has since doubled in size with more notable regional artists and creatives joining as members.
We operate in compliance with the Queensland Government's model rules for incorporated associations.
Port Douglas Artists is a membership organisation.
