There are 2 months left to enter the Audrey Gibbs Art Prize! We are also pleased to announce that the acceptable media has been extended to include all 2D and 3D mediums.⁠
⁠
This exhibition focuses on genre artworks, which are those that depict ordinary people in everyday situations, both in the exterior and the interior. Rather than heroic or mythological subjects, these works celebrate the familiar: everyday people participating in domestic routines, work, leisure, social gatherings, and quiet moments of daily life. Spanning centuries, the show highlights how artists have found beauty, humour, and meaning in the ordinary, offering intimate windows into human experience and social history.⁠
⁠
Entries due: Wednesday, 26th of August, 3:30pm⁠
Entry fees: ⁠
- $30 for RQAS Brisbane Members⁠
- $50 for non-members⁠
⁠
On show at Petrie Terrace Gallery from Friday, 2nd of October to Sunday, 25th of October. For more information and to enter visit rqas.com.au.
