This project initiated by the Tully Arts and Cultural Precinct Inc. in 2025 was developed to supplement Tully Sugar 100, an event which marked 100 years of operation for the Tully Sugar Mill. 34 artists worked to a theme which considered all elements of the sugar industry in the Tully region, including the environment, farming, histories, machinery and innovation, the processes of making sugar and the people who are involved.
Funding for a series of workshops led by Dr Anneke Silver was received through the CCRC RADF program to create artist books for this exhibition.
Artists in the Tully region and across the CCRC region produced an exhibition of artworks themed around 100 years of operation of the Tully Sugar Mill. 49 artists were featured and works included photography, painting, drawings, sculpture, textiles and conceptual works. Prior to the exhibition a series of workshops funded by the CCRC RADF program and led by Townsville based artist Prof Anneke Silver facilitated this narrative based project to create artist books which looked at the past, present and the future of the sugar industry.
An opportunity for children to have fun together, to be creative and to learn a little of the history of the Tully Sugar industry. Parental supervision required.
