On
Thursday 24th February, Flying Arts Alliance Inc. (Flying Arts) was
delighted to be joined by artists, special delegates, sponsors and
guests to launch The Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award
Exhibition at the Judith Wright Arts Centre. The exhibition
was open to the public from 20 February until 3 March 2023 and will be
on display at the offices of the award sponsor, Consolidated Properties
Group, in Brisbane until early 2024.
The
Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award is a category of the Queensland
Regional Art Awards, Flying Arts’ annual visual arts awards for artists
living in regional, rural and remote Queensland. The prize awards
landscape artwork in any medium, in homage to the founder of Flying
Arts, Mervyn ‘Merv’ Moriarty OAM, and his extraordinary legacy, and tributes
to his penchant for en plein air landscape
painting.
On
the night of the launch, the foyer of the Judith Wright Art Centre came
alive with a jubilant celebration that launched the exhibition to the
public, generously hosted by Consolidated Properties Group. Attendees
were treated to an outstanding selection of artworks, consisting of the
award-winning artwork by Jan Strudwick, Sunday Morning – Ukraine (2022)
and artworks by award finalists, Aaron Butt, Carmen Beezley-Drake,
Coreen Reading, Dolly Loogatha, Helen Dennis, Janet Ambrose, Jo
Williams, Kylie Stevens, Rosie Lloyd Giblett, Suzanne Furness and
Thomas Gilmore.
Flying
Arts would like to sincerely thank all the artists, community members,
supporters, special delegates and sponsors who joined us for the launch
of The Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award Exhibition.

Flying
Arts By Request Program Lead, Leigh Lynam has been out and about
catching up with our 2023 Facilitator Team in a series of
meet-and-greet sessions both online and face-to-face. Leigh travelled
to Gympie connecting with Facilitators while enjoying the artist talks
from the inspiring exhibition ‘22.96 / receding’ at Gympie
Regional Art Gallery. This exhibition was funded by Australian
Government’s Regional Arts Fund, administered in Queensland by Flying
Arts. It was lovely to see Artist Facilitator’s like Trish Callaghan
who is from Gympie and has a long history with Flying Arts and Founder
Mervyn Moriarty OAM.
“Mervyn Moriarty’s teaching legacy as a Dalby born
artist was inspiring. My first art teacher in Dalby had been taught by
Merv in the 1960s. Then in the Colour and Response Tour of 2016 I was
able to work closely with the Dalby Regional Gallery and Mervyn himself
as an ambassador for his Colour Theory”. Trish Callaghan
The
recent Brisbane Facilitator catch-up was well attended providing a
great chance to network with each other, meet the Flying Arts program
team and mingle with participants from the Creative Development Program
with Kellie O’Dempsey.
Our
Facilitators are such an important part of Flying Arts, and we are
thankful for the amazing skills and knowledge they share with
Queensland regional and remote communities.
The
By Request team are ready to work with you to deliver workshops or professional
development programs in person or online that meet the specific needs
of your region. For more information please contact the team via
email byrequest@flyingarts.org.au.
