Case Study: Regional Arts
Fund Quick Response Grant

Date:
December 2021 to March 2022
Location:
Brisbane, QLD
Quick
Response Grant Round: October 2021
Amount
Awarded: $5,000
Outback
Art City Pop-up (presented by Red Ridge Interior) showcased the work of
local remote artists to new metropolitan audiences in Brisbane,
Queensland. With support from the Regional Arts Fund Quick Response
Grant fund,six artists were provided with a valuable opportunity to
exhibit and sell their works. Participating artists included the
Anpanuwa (Joyce Crombie) and Aulpunda (Jean Barr-Crombie), exhibiting
as Two Sisters Talking, Quilpie artist Lyn Barnes, Des Harry, and
contemporary artists Ruth Chaplin and Janine Canty.
Displayed
works included traditional landscapes, indigenous artworks,
contemporary works, and mixed media. The Pop-up gallery provided direct
economic benefits for the artists via the sale of their artwork as
audiences were able to purchase works through the QR codes. Information
on each of the presented works, and artist profiles were made
accessible via QR codes which linked viewers directly the Red Ridge
Interior website.
Artists
based in these remote locations possess a wealth of artistic
inspiration and knowledge however, there are limited opportunities to
create and extend networks and develop their understanding of the arts
industry within their local regions. The greatest challenge faced when
sharing the work of remote artists is the distance to market,
necessitating funding support to make it happen. This short-term
cultural activation allowed artists to develop strong connections and
new networks while enabling them to break into new and larger markets
through exposure in a metropolitan space
This Project meets the following RAF Criteria:
Develop audiences and broaden community engagement with the arts and
increase employment and professional development opportunities for, and
raise the profile of, regional and remote artists.

Our annual Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA)
returns for 2022 debuting a new logo to identify the awards! We are
excited to announce a prize pool worth over $36,000, offered across 8
prize categories.
About the QRAA
The
Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) is Flying Arts’ signature annual
art award for established and emerging artists living in regional and
remote Queensland. The award aims to showcase artwork whilst providing
a platform for artists to further professional development and opportunities.
|
|
|
|
|
In
2022, the QRAA is an invitation to explore the concept of ‘Reframe’,
calling artists to enter work which draws upon experiences and
observations, reflecting upon the past year or two and responding to
our changing world.
‘Reframe’
is an opportunity to see our current situation from a different
perspective, to inspire problem solving and decision making and apply
learning, whilst constructively responding, shifting and evolving.
The
Flying Arts' QRAA is looking for stimulating entries that address this
broad concept through the visual arts.
