This is a reciprocal partnership program supporting regional NSW and regional QLD artists to exhibit at both Firstdraft (Sydney) and Metro Arts (Brisbane). Across two years, this program supports two projects, one by regional NSW artists and one by regional QLD artists to be presented at both Firstdraft and Metro Arts. The program will feature exhibitions by early-career through to established practitioners working across a diverse cross-section of contemporary visual arts practice.
The program will emphasise quality contemporary practice that demonstrates innovation, experimentation, rigour and critical engagement.
We are now calling for proposals for Round 2, where a project by a regional QLD artist will be selected. One project will be selected through this Metro Arts Call for Proposals to exhibit at both Metro Arts and Firstdraft in 2023. The applicant/s must live and work primarily in regional QLD. Please see the application guide for more information.
