Our Perfect New World Project - Flying Arts Alliance

For Young Artists

Our Perfect New World Project is a new Flying Arts Alliance initiative, designed to support and encourage young people to engage in the visual arts in regional Queensland centres. It is a brand-new program to run alongside the touring exhibition of the 2020 Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA).

Young artists are provided with the exciting opportunity to develop new skills, techniques, ways of thinking and writing strategies to create artworks under the guidance of accomplished arts practitioners, via schools, in community, culminating in a young people’s exhibition at their local gallery.
