Expressions of Interest are invited for the upcoming QAGOMA Touring Millmerran Artist Residency.
Coordinated by QAGOMA in collaboration with Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery and Millmerran Arts Council, and developed with the generous support of Nell Macqueen and family, the Millmerran Artist Residency is the first in a series of programs designed to foster artistic networks and build the skills of emerging artists in regional Queensland.
The residency will respond to the work of renowned watercolourist Kenneth Macqueen, who farmed and painted the land around Mount Emlyn, leaving an enduring artistic legacy.
Following the residency, participating artists will be invited to facilitate watercolour workshops in conjunction with QAGOMA’s regional tour of Under a Modern Sun: Art in Queensland 1930s–1950s. The exhibition will travel to 12 venues between October 2027 and February 2031.
