Professional development kicks into top-gear!
Can you believe it’s February already? We’ve already presented our first webinar of 2018 (the video should be up soon, if you missed it). We’ve also received dozens of expressions of interest for our upcoming members exhibitions! We’ve been absolutely blown away with the quality of submissions, and are looking forward to reviewing them over the coming week.
February sees our Scheduled Program really ramp up, with a plethora of opportunities for artists, young artists and educators. Bookings are open!
Of particular note is our Where to Next…? program, presented in partnership with the National Association for the Visual Arts. Mid-career artists will have the opportunity to solidify their goals and map out their career direction to help overcome that ‘mid-career hump’. Applications close February 16.
For those just starting out, our Setting Up Your Arts Business workshop will set you on the right path for professionalising your practice this year.
Educators aren’t left out either. Check out our professional development opportunities below. And don’t forget to register for our brand new Artiz for Educators intensive at The Edge, State Library of Queensland! If you’ve ever wanted to get some expert guidance on the latest and greatest in arts, science and tech, this one is for you.
Applications for the Small Schools Fund close February 28.
Schools with 50 students or less may be able to work with a Flying Arts artist to plan and deliver a visual arts workshop or residency in their school with facilitator fees, travel and accommodation costs covered by the fund. We strongly encourage all small schools to apply!
Welcome to the team!

Additional Information
Dr. Rhi Johnson is a Toowoomba based artist and lecturer who works primarily in the fields of Printmaking, Artist’s Books and Mixed Media art. She is interested in the formation of everyday narratives, and how these can be disrupted or subverted visually. Rhi investigates visual cues that can punctuate an environment, object or space of perceived meaning, and in doing so, may allude to subconscious methods of processing information. She explores these through smaller scale book, paper and canvas works, through to large-scale mural works.
Karri McPherson was born in Hong Kong and emigrated to Australia soon after. She is a contemporary painter and muralist living in Toowoomba, Queensland and is undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Art at the University of Southern Queensland. Throughout 2017, she undertook a month-long residency learning how to translate her work onto a large scale, ultimately leading to her participation in the First Coat Festival. Her practice explores geometric art in relation to contemporary spatial confinements and through her hard-edge forms she seeks to break down the boundaries of perception. By actualising hard-edge forms within a public setting, McPherson seeks to understand the power that geometric street art has to infuse communities with the simplistic beauty of shape, form and colour.
