Event Details

The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) is an annual visual arts prize and exhibition for established and emerging artists living in regional and remote Queensland. The program aims to provide a platform for further professional development.

The theme this year was ‘State of Diversity’:

Queensland is a state full of diverse ecosystems, wildlife, places, people and personalities. This year, artists were encouraged to explore the diverse elements and qualities that make up their own communities and locations within Queensland.

The theme was to be addressed in an accompanying artist statement of 100 – 150 words.
