Catch of the Day!

Cairns Festival 2026 Exhibition

Featured Artists:  Lia Tabrah and Kate Geck

Catch of the Day! celebrates humour, nostalgia and collective play through a bold, larger-than-life magazine universe. Inspired by the colourful chaos of classic Aussie mags, the exhibition transforms the gallery into a walk-through world of giant glossy spreads wedged artfully between six holes of hard-hitting mini golf. Visitors move through immersive textile pages, becoming part of the headlines themselves through playful selfie moments.

Catch of the Day! is the ultimate interactive space where new surprises await around every page. Find and share survival tips for 2026 at Cossie Livs Corner, try to hook a cheeky croc in the Catch a Croc comp to win collectable merch prizes, confess your secrets to the resident agony-toad aunt, or receive scarily accurate advice from the horoscopes section.

Fever Lounge

Catch of the Day! will have extended gallery hours when Tank 4 opens Fever Lounge .

Inspired by the chaotic glamour of Cairns Festival, Fever Lounge is where DJs, drinks, and festival energy collide. Expect vinyl, disco, global grooves and dance-floor detours under the lights as the crowd drifts between art, cocktails and questionable dance moves.
