Venue |
The Peace by Peace Space at 298 Fearnley St
Situated opposite the lowland coastal forest of the Cairns Swamp, the Peace by Peace Workshop Space was developed by Bryan Law and Margaret Pestorius in the early 2000's to help develop community skills in the inner Cairns area. In recent years Maiia has added her beautiful art, creating ever-changing installations that draw in the neighbourhood people to participate in art and music making. |
