News: December

We have a lot to celebrate!

Christmas has definitely arrived at the Flying Arts office. There are even presents under the tree! In the spirit of giving, we are donating a host of supplies to our friends at Art from the Margins, to assist with their art classes.

After a very full year, we’re just three weeks away from our annual closure period for some well-deserved holidays.

The Flying Arts office will be closed December 22 – January 8.

Although the year is winding to a close, things are still buzzing away here behind the scenes. We’re hard at work preparing the program for 2018, taking By Request bookings, processing insurance applications, preparing the touring exhibition of Iconic Queensland for the road, and much more.

A number of exhibitions are also still available to see throughout December. Check out Beautiful One Day, Fruit Salad The Next at the Judy before it closes on December 15, or see Grounded in Atherton all month.

We are on the look two superstars to join our team in 2018. Applications for By Request Program Lead and Development Lead close Monday 11 December, so do apply if you think you fit the bill!

Will you be taking some time off over Christmas and New Years? What artistic things do you have planned for the holidays? Let us know – post what you’re getting up to on our Facebook!

By Request Highlight – Regional Artists Draw with Determination

Flying Arts Artist, Scott Maxwell, recently visited Charters Towers to deliver drawing workshops for 7 days straight! Working with artists ranging from 10 months old to 83 years young, across a range of skill-levels, Scott had everyone engaged and experimenting all week.

The spontaneity of the classes changed daily – it included a field trip into the rock scape in twilight hours, a life model, detailing several inanimate objects, having another group coming in and ‘documenting our creative spaces’ and a meeting with the Mayor at an art exhibition opening that culminated into a class concept design for four new street roundabouts being constructed in town.

Beautiful One Day, Fruit Salad The Next! Opening Festivities

In November we celebrated the opening of Beautiful One Day, Fruit Salad The Next, an exhibition of works from past participants of the Flying Arts Exhibition Development Program. While completing the program, they discovered that there were some interesting connections between their works.

See photos from the opening and read speeches by Kerryanne Farrer, Executive Officer of Flying Arts; John Armstrong, exhibition curator; and Chrys Zantiz, one of the participating artists.

Incidentally, since the opening event, our gallery partner for the Flying Arts Exhibition Development Program, QCA Galleries, have announced that the recipient of a solo exhibition in 2019, is Chrys Zantis. Congratulations Chrys!
