Closing 13 July - Queensland Regional Art Awards 2012
The
Queensland Regional Art Awards is an annual visual arts prize and
exhibition for established and emerging artists living in regional and
remote Queensland.
The program aims to highlight the wealth of creative talent located
outside the capital city and provide a platform for further professional
development.
The
theme for 2012 is ‘the essential character of Queensland’. Artists can
choose to reflect or reinterpret the State’s icons, which may include
aspects of
its diverse and distinct landscape or a depiction of unique
individuals, places or landmarks that are significant to a community or
the state. Artists may also choose to explore the theme by responding to
recent or historic events that have shaped the State,
including man-made and natural events.
