January 2023

 

 

Welcome back for 2023!

 

We begin this year with the exciting announcement that Flying Arts is one of the successful recipients of the latest Touring Queensland Fund recently announced by Arts Queensland. This funding will enable Flying Arts to tour the winners of the 2022 Queensland Regional Arts Awards (QRAA).

 

This touring exhibition, Reframe, will showcase the work of the 8 regional Queensland artists and will coincide with the regional programs of Queensland Music Festival, Opera Queensland, and Queensland Symphony Orchestra, to create multidimensional arts experiences in Charleville, Longreach, Blackall, Moranbah, and Cairns. The exhibition will grow the profile of the participating artists by creating opportunities for future work, networking and learning alongside a suite of public programs thanks to the support of this fund.

 

Flying Arts’ professional development program in 2023 includes a variety of webinars, consultations and intensive workshops for artists, arts workers, young artists and their educators. We are continuing to prioritise regional delivery through exciting collaborations such as The Visual Field at Rockhampton Museum of Art and accessible online programs like our upcoming session on Creative Contracts with Arts Law.

 

Paint the Town, the touring exhibition of the 2021 Queensland Regional Art Awards, will continue to tour in 2023. Regional towns of Bundaberg, Mundubbera, Miles, Roma, Injune and Warwick will host this fantastic exhibition with the assistance of Museums & Galleries Queensland as our touring partner and the generous support of Arts Queensland’s Touring Queensland Fund.

 

The By Request Program has hit the ground running in 2023 receiving a steady stream of enquiries and bookings. Our 2023 Facilitator Team is the largest team yet with a focus on diverse practices and locations enhancing our capabilities and reach.

 

With all of this and more in store, we look forward to continuing to support and engage with you all in what is sure to be an exciting year of artistic programs and regional engagement.
