Louise Plint: Confessions of a Bibliophile Begged, stolen, gifted, handmade, collected, found, purchased. This exhibition displays some of the 'loot' amassed by a bibliophile.

It has become a lifelong addiction and this bibliophile will not be absolved of her sins. 25th July to 29th July Bags n’ Things Ingham Art Society’s annual Hinchinbrook on Display exhibition brings together a group of local artists who have answered the question of “What’s your Bag”, with a variety of bags created in many mediums. 2nd August to 1st September 34th Hinchinbrook Art Awards Now in its 34th year Ingham’s annual art competition gives artists a chance to display their finest pieces for contention of winning in a prize pool exceeding $2 000.
