NorthSite Contemporary Arts has launched a new collaboration with the 23 Sampaguita Artists Collective from Philippines that will foster intercultural collaboration with First Nations artists from Gimuy/Cairns. NorthSite Art Studios is a dedicated print facility – the only one of its kind in Far North Queensland – and provides workshop spaces for artists to collaborate and experiment.

23 Sampaguita is a not-for-profit organisation championing for the arts in the UNESCO Creative City of Baguio in the Philippines and Canberra. The collective regularly works with the Salimisim: Culture and Arts Festival to spotlight artists across visual art and music, and hosts public workshops that invite art-making.
