The Flying Arts annual exhibition program is designed specifically to provide opportunities for artists, especially regional and remote Queensland artists, to reach out and connect with new audiences and new opportunities.
Colours of Queensland
This exhibition is an outcome of the 2016 Queensland Regional Art Awards. The Awards aim to highlight the wealth of creative talent located outside the capital city, and to provide a platform for further professional development.
Artists were asked to consider what brings colour, vibrancy and life to their local community or region. The exhibition features the work of 35 regional Queensland artists.
Reminiscence
Reminiscence pays tribute to Judith Wright and her life. On reflection Judith was a fiercely intelligent, strong and passionate woman who cared deeply about the land of her birth and the first people of her beloved country, Australia.
Artist, Fiona Rafferty and Ceramicist, Frances Smith have worked collaboratively to produce a body of work that celebrates and pays homage to Judith Wright. More Information
Grounded
Grounded presents the outcome of two residencies; one in the Gaelic speaking Outer Hebrides of Scotland and the other with the Australian Aboriginal nations of the Central Australian desert and the plains of Western Queensland.
Grounded features photography, sound, audiovisual, language and prose; with inspiration drawn from landscape and stories shared by the local people. Judith’s artistic interpretation addresses issues surrounding connection to land, language, and each other for environmental and personal wellbeing. More Information
