November sees our third iteration of rightNOW – an exhibition model which fast tracks very recently completed works straight from artists’ studios to our gallery walls. This allows fresh ideas and experimentation to gain a much earlier audience.
rightNOW presents works to collectors and curators in a more immediate way. It also provides the opportunity for some artists to show in Brisbane for the first time, even if they have considerable careers elsewhere.
We are delighted in this version to present Ricky Emmerton, a Kalkatungu man, who has recently completed his Master of Philosophy in Creative Arts at James Cook University together with Prita Tina Yeganeh, an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose cultural self-exploration has led her to ancient Iranian dyeing practices, along with Matilda Nona, a talented multimedia artist from the Argan clan of Badu Island.
Opening Event: 6 – 8pm, Thursday 3 November 2022
