ARTiculate

'ARTiculate' can now be viewed in the Yblock Gallery. On exhibit is the practical results from the Diploma Assemblage students. Students had to communicate concept successfully through the art of assemblage. Each student worked hard to create the work and put the show together themselves.

LEAP

Louisa Ennis Thomas and Sam Vatovey were successful in their application to the ‘LEAP’ program ( Loft Emerging Artist’s Program). This sort after exhibition program is for artists and art collectives of Far North Queensland. It gives the opportunity for emerging artists to display their work in a professional gallery. The program gives the applicants a chance to develop and extend their art practice and work towards a solo exhibition the Cairns Regional Gallery’s loft space. The program application and selection process are both lengthy and arduous so being successful whilst still studying is a great achievement.

Both students will be having their solo show in the first half of next year.
