Flying Arts is an arts and cultural development organisation which has been delivering visual arts projects and services to regional and remote Queensland since 1971. The Association has played a significant role in inspiring artists and communities, as well as helping to overcome the impacts of regional isolation and remote living.
Flying Arts embraces a spirit of adventure to inspire the appreciation, practice and professional development of the visual arts as a lifetime interest or career aspiration, and a creative life for all Queenslanders.
We are a not for profit association with core funding provided by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. Our services are supported by program revenue, corporate partnerships and philanthropy. We have Donor Gift Recipient (DGR) and Tax Charity Concession (TCC) status.
