The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) is Flying Arts Alliance’s 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 QRAA initiative is built on years of Flying Arts’ exhibition program which is a result of a multitude of art classes and practice conducted by Flying Arts tutors around the state since 1971.
