Flying Colours: 10 Years of QCA Graduates

Flying Colours is both a celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the first Fine Arts graduates on the Gold Coast as well as an opportunity to reflect on the strong community partnership that has developed between Gold Coast City Gallery and Griffith University. It is timely to celebrate the growing viability and strength of arts sector in this region, through an exhibition that includes the work of six artists who all have an association with the QCA Gold Coast campus and now enjoy growing profiles both locally and nationally. These artists are Chris Bennie, Mari Hirata Abby McCulloch, Virginia Miller, Victoria Reichelt and Michael Zavros.

 

Each artist will present a group of works that reflect either recent or key moments from their careers and the exhibition will demonstrate that artists can be educated, supported, sustained and go onto gain significant national standing while working and living on the Gold Coast.   This project marks a further ‘coming of age’ of a vibrant, diverse and now mature regional arts community that can take pride and confidence in the achievements of its outstanding emerging artists.
