Expressions of Interest
Expressions of Interest are sought from visual artists and agencies to submit a portfolio of images of artworks, either coordinated as a complete exhibition or as a cohesive body of work.
Expressions of Interest for 2011
Each year, Queensland artists and communities are invited to submit Expressions of Interest for inclusion in Ontour onexhibition. A shortlist is then created of the most suitable exhibitions of the highest quality that meet the program’s selection criteria and strongly support its rationale of connecting the people and places of regional Queensland through visual arts.
As a not-for-profit organisation, Queensland Arts Council relies on funding and corporate support which is not confirmed until late October of the previous touring year. Queensland Arts Council’s commitment to its support for this program is dependent on receiving appropriate funding.
Expressions of Interest are sought from visual artists and agencies to submit a portfolio of images of artworks, either coordinated as a complete exhibition or as a cohesive body of work.
Potential exhibitions should reflect a sense of place, history and society and comprise artworks that embrace themes that will engage and stimulate regional Queenslanders and have a resonance for people living in the areas, which the program covers.
We encourage submissions from artists and communities who have evidence of adequate planning for exhibition development that will be completed by November of the previous year. Artists and organisations may also be eligible for support for exhibition development from the State Government’s Regional Arts Development Fund.
