Abstract
This study elaborates on the story of the arts in northern Queensland between 1971 and 1981. It is argued that the experience of the north, characterised through the distinctive features impacting on artists, directors, patrons and art groups in Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, and Cairns, distinguishes the visual arts during this time.
Celie Forbes demonstrated the way northern Queensland artists in the 1970s, expanded their sphere of influence, connecting them to, rather than disconnecting them from, the broader Australian arts narrative.
