ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In 2023, the QRAA invited artists to enter work which considers the concept of ‘Perspective’ in its many facets, viewpoints, and nuances. The theme plays on a term known in the visual arts and relevant to our modern society.
Perspective features the winners’, highly commended and finalists’ works, selected by judges Jonathan McBurnie and Fiona Foley. The exhibition is comprised of 36 works, featuring a diverse range of mediums selected across nine award categories, showcasing the immense talent that exists throughout regional Queensland.
Accompanying Perspective is the Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Exhibition. The exhibition is comprised of a selection landscape artwork in any medium, in homage to Mervyn’s penchant for ‘en plein air’ landscape painting.

Flying Art Alliance’s founder, Mervyn Moriarty OAM, was a legendary figure in the arts. He was an extraordinary art teacher and artist with a passion to bring the arts to the rural, regional and remote places. He learnt to fly to be able to achieve this passion.
Honouring Mervyn Moriarty’s legacy, Flying Arts offers the The Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award as a category of the Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA). The prize awards a landscape artwork in any medium, in homage to Mervyn’s penchant for ‘en plein air’ landscape painting.
Over 50 years on, thanks to the strong state-wide networks that Merv created, Flying Arts continues to provide transformative art experiences. The organisation has evolved from its early days, however the vision of Merv has remained steadfast.
The Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award is proudly sponsored by Mitchell Fine Art, Watco East West, Chroma Australia, Rockhampton Museum of Art, Flying Arts Alliance and a donor.
