Welcome to the website of the Beaudesert Community Arts and Information Centre. The aim of our centre is firstly to provide a showcase for local art and craft. Amongst our talented contributors are painters, sculptors, textile artists, woodworkers, writers, musicians, paper artists and food providores. As most of our contributors also man the centre from time to time, you will meet them when you come to visit.
We also provide information for visitors to the area, and it is our staff members' personal extensive knowledge which helps people who come here from all parts of the world to enjoy our special region.
The centre is also a meeting place for community groups.
At present we are open from 9am-4pm on weekdays, and 9am-3pm on weekends.
On the website you'll find out what's happening in the area from our calendar and from our "What's on" page. There'll also be reports on recent events.
We're open again, but everyone must wear a mask until next Friday (16 July), and check in using the Queensland app. Come on in to see the great range of locally produced food, art and craft! - Details

Opening of new Market Pathway
Mick, Jenny and Hilary cut the ribbon and declared the new Market Pathway open!
Our new pathway was officially unveiled at yesterday's Beaudesert market. For the past 22 years Jenny and Mick Young have held the Beaudesert markets in Westerman Park, and these have a fine reputation as the best markets in the area.
The Market Pathway has been funded by the income from the market stallholder payments received by Mick and Jenny, who have very generously passed the funds on to the Beaudesert Community Arts and Information Centre for more than two decades.
As a consequence we have been able to fund the construction of the Market Pathway, which is much appreciated by both stallholders and customers.
We thank the Scenic Rim Council for their cooperation and approval.We also thank Stuart Hall for his design input and Hilary Rains for her determination to have the pathway built. Thanks also to Franklin Constructions and their contractors, who worked very hard in the first week of August to ensure the path was ready for this September market.
This Market Pathway will be a long-lasting reminder to the community of the generosity of Mick and Jenny Young.
