Our Story
Townsville Art Academy is founded by Mere King, a local illustrator and freelance visual artist based here in Townsville.
​
Growing up she loved art and the process of creating, but there were no programs in her area for such things. Thats why we are dedicated to bringing a strong after school and holiday program to the young artists of Townsville.
​
We are committed to nurturing the artistic minds of tomorrow and strive to ensure that no artist is left behind.

Timeline & Process
Weekend and Holiday Programs
Townsville Art Academy offers dedicated weekend and school holiday programs throughout the year. Students attend a master class course once a month and learn the skills, techniques and confidence that they need to thrive as an artist.
​
Classes are divided into 2 groups, junior school (ages 6 - 12) and senior & adults (ages13+). Please ensure you choose the right booking timetable for you or your child's age.
​
If you feel your child would benefit from being put into a group that is outside of their age bracket, please contact our team to organise placement.
Admissions Process
Apply online through our bookings portal to secure your child's spot. Classes are capped at 12 students per session so be sure to be mindful of what time slot you book.
Academic Requirements
Students must be of school age or above. We currently do not offer classes to anyone younger than 6 years of age.
