Ingham was a hub of excitement and creativity recently, hosting both the Great Moscow Circus at the showgrounds and the opening of Artist Books of FNQ at the TYTO Regional Art Gallery.
The Great Moscow Circus brought high-energy entertainment under the big top, delivering a show packed with skill, strength, danger, and comedy. From breathtaking feats to light-hearted moments, the performance kept audiences clapping, laughing, and on the edge of their seats. With plenty of crowd interaction, the circus created a lively atmosphere that thrilled attendees from start to finish.
Meanwhile, inside the gallery, the opening of Artist Books of FNQ offered a more reflective but equally engaging experience. Led by Dr Valerie Keenan and featuring artists from the Tully Arts and Cultural Precinct, the exhibition explores storytelling through handmade artist books inspired by the region’s sugar industry. The works combine structure, imagery, and materials to share personal and meaningful stories tied to North Queensland’s identity.
Hinchinbrook Shire Councillor Donna Marbelli and Member for Hinchinbrook Wayde Chiesa, acknowledged the contributions of Dr Valerie Keenan and Dr Anneke Silver, recognising their ongoing role in supporting and strengthening the region’s arts community.
Gallery exhibition on display until 4:00pm Saturday 23 May 2026.
