Join us in Butler Hut for our inaugural Sunday Session as we unveil our newly acquired original artwork by Denis John Hardy – "Sunday Session at Hotel Arcadia".

Hardy, a renowned Australian postwar and contemporary artist born in Townsville in 1940, beautifully captured the spirit of North Queensland life in his work. This piece is a vibrant addition to our growing collection!

While you're there, explore the Island's fascinating history and our heritage-listed building, the Picnic Bay school. Discover stories of Magnetic Island’s First Nation’s People the Wulgurukaba, the early settlers and more through engaging exhibits.

Come for the art, stay for the history – and enjoy a true local Sunday Session!
