Diploma of Visual Art student exhibition

Les Femmes and John is an exhibition of works by a vibrant group of art practitioners. Coming from diverse backgrounds, these artists bring together their distinctive interpretation and creative energy in this show. This exciting line up of contemporary and traditional work features drawing, sculpture, painting, ceramics and digital media.

The underpinning knowledge and inspiration central to these works reflect the complexity and diversity of life. The works explore a range of issues including loss of culture, the environment, innocence and other aspects of the human condition.

Raewyn Biggs, Perth Burrin, Louisa Ennis-Thomas, Kira MacGregor, Ruth McKim, Rose Rigley and Adrienne Shaw from the Diploma of  Visual Arts at Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE invite you to experience Les Femmes and John

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.
