Happy New Year to one and all! We’ve been back in the office for a couple of weeks and the program is just back from the printers! Keep an eye out for that one headed your way soon.
We kick off the year with something very exciting for artists: we’re on the hunt for small-scale artworks to be included in our new Featured Artists at the Judy exhibitions, to be displayed in the Judith Wright Centre foyer throughout the year. Applications close January 31!
Applications for our 2018 Small Schools Fund are now open. This fund is especially for schools with 50 or less students in regional and remote Queensland to apply for financial support for curriculum linked projects (inclusive of Flying Arts facilitator fees, travel and accommodation).
Colours of Queensland, our touring exhibition featuring artworks from the 2016 Queensland Regional Art Awards is currently at Goondiwindi. This is the last leg of its year-long tour before it comes home, so check it out while you can!
In other exciting news, Flying Arts has been successful in our application to Arts Queensland’s Playing Queensland fund for a new touring exhibition program. Colour and Response will bring the latest artwork of Mervyn Moriarty back to the bush, with a counterpoint in each tour location of exhibitions featuring the works of local artists.
The year ahead at Flying Arts is full of possibility and brand new things – including a new staff member, a slew of industry opportunities, and our first professional development programs open for booking in 2018! Read on to find out more…

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.
