Recently
over the June-July school holidays, we were thrilled to be able to
offer once again our popular 'Visual Field' program for creative teens.
A very enthusiastic and talented group of students participated in this
wonderful jammed packed program.
Over
three fabulous days, students met with artists, curators, and industry
professionals to gain insight into the arts sector and the many diverse
career pathways on offer. The program featured creative experiences,
behind-the-scenes gallery tours, artist studio excursions and hands-on
workshops. The Visual Field is such a creative experience!
The
Visual Field was delivered alongside our program partners the Institute
of Modern Art (IMA) and offered rich and exciting opportunities for
young people interested in creative pursuits and a career in the arts
after school and was a fun school holiday experience!
Thanks
to all the talented and enthusiastic young creatives that joined us for
this exciting program.

exhibition on display at the Bushman's Art Gallery. Featuring the
Flying Arts’ 2022 Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) winners,
Reframe showcases award-winning artworks and artistic
talent from across regional Queensland.

creative community paper weaving workshop. Blackall participants worked
together collaboratively to create a 'community quilt' made of shopping
receipts and other paper-based domestic products.

Our
By Request Program recently had the opportunity to custom design a
collaborative and rewarding week on Thursday Island for the Torres
Strait Regional Authority at the Gab Titui Cultural Centre.
Delivered by multidisciplinary artist, Kellie O’Dempsey, participants
explored ways of transforming their 2D work into digital media formats
inspiring ways they can expand their art within a space. Across the 3
day workshop, a talented group of local artists skill shared and
explored a range of digital media skills resulting in many beautiful
creations.
The
results were so inspiring in this wonderful community environment!
Flying
Arts By Request Program is dedicated to working with the Queensland
community to deliver meaningful programs in person or online that meet
the specific needs of your school or community group. For more

In
early 2023, the Gympie Regional Gallery was the successful recipient of
the Regional Arts Fund’s project grant. Together three Gympie artists
collaborated to present 22.96 / receding, a multi-faceted
exhibition that commemorated the one-year anniversary of the
devastating Gympie floods. The collaborative exhibition was held at Gympie Regional Gallery and
invited the community to engage with a narrative that is not defined by
the worst that the river can do, but by what the river provides.
Through
the Regional Arts Fund project grant
funding, Miriam Innes, Joolie Gibbs and Leeroy
Todd created thought-provoking and engaging artworks and programs
which voiced the unspoken impacts of the natural disaster on the
social, environmental and economic fabric of the Gympie region.
