DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1523319263370{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\nCELEBRATING MEMBERS CREATIVITY AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION \n\n\n\nThis exhibition\, on show at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane\, is open to financial members of the RQAS Brisbane Branch \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nIn partnership with Queen’s Wharf Brisbane\, the Royal Queensland Art Society Brisbane Branch is pleased to offer our members the opportunity to display their artworks in the Star Event Centre at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane. \nWe invite artists to explore the luminous beauty and transformative power of light during the Australian summer. From the intense clarity of midday sun to the soft warmth of dawn and the rich\, golden tones of evening\, this exhibition celebrates light in all its summer moods. Works may explore how summer light affects landscapes\, seascapes\, urban environments\, interiors\, people\, and objects. Artists are encouraged to consider the emotional impact of light — its energy\, transience\, warmth\, intensity\, and the unique way it shapes colour\, mood\, and atmosphere in the summer months. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nEXHIBITION ON SHOW \nTuesday\, 3rd November 2026 to Sunday\, 10th January 2027\, in The Star Event Centre at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane \nNOTE: This exhibition is only open to Events Centre Guests\, and not the public.

This helps the gallery to create a cohesive exhibition with a professional look\, as well as ensuring the hanging process is easy and safe for our staff and volunteers. \nPLEASE REFER TO THE EXHIBITION TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR MINIMUM FRAMING REQUIREMENTS. \nArtworks  must be clean\, dry and professionally finished before being delivered to the gallery. This includes cleaning the glass and wiping off any dust that may have accumulated while in storage\, making sure the matt is not marked and frame is not damaged \nTo download guidelines and view images please click here \nPainted Edges & Framed Works \nIf works on stretched canvas are not framed the edges of the canvas must be cleanly finished. Artists may choose to paint the edge a single colour such as grey or a colour that complements the artwork\, see  Figure 1\, or you may complete the artwork in the “round” as in Figure 2. In the “round” means to extend the painting around the edge of the canvas. Essentially\, the edges should not have random marks\, such as fingerprints or paint drips. \nD Rings \nFramed artworks and works on canvas (or otherwise mounted) must be ready to hang on the wall using medium or large sized “D” rings placed approximately 5-10cm from the top of the frame. Attach hooks facing upwards and on the outside of the canvas frame\, as pictured in Figure 3. Wire or string is not required. However\, if you would like to add wire or string\, please see Figure 3. As you can see the wire is further down the canvas and is not attached to the top “D” ring. \nSquaring Up \nTo determine if a rectangular or square canvas is “square” or “squared up”\, measure the diagonal of the canvas/artwork\, and it should be the same length both ways. Please refer to Figure 4. \nFoxing & Mould \nFoxing is an age-related process of deterioration that causes spots and browning and can appear as brown\, yellow\, or red stains on the paper or canvas. If it appears on an artwork mat\, the work must be reframed with a new mat. If it appears on the canvas or paper\, it must be treated and repainted\, so it is not visible. \nArtwork Labels  \nClearly mark the artist’s name\, contact details\, the title of work\, and price on an artwork label\, to be placed on the back of the work. We need this information to easily identify your artwork before the exhibition labels (didactics) and catalogue are printed for the exhibition. Some artists choose to write this information on the back of the frame/canvas directly. You may also choose to include this on a removable/temporary label\, or on a permanent label or “Certificate of Authenticity”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”CONDITIONS OF ENTRY” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Frqas.com.au%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2FRQAS-Showcase-Conditions-of-Entry-Summer-Light-2026.pdf||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1747798346082{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column_text] \nENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n

Essentially\, the edges should not have random marks\, such as fingerprints or paint drips. \nD Rings \nFramed artworks and works on canvas (or otherwise mounted) must be ready to hang on the wall using medium or large sized “D” rings placed approximately 5-10cm from the top of the frame. Attach hooks facing upwards and on the outside of the canvas frame\, as pictured in Figure 3. Wire or string is not required. However\, if you would like to add wire or string\, please see Figure 3. As you can see the wire is further down the canvas and is not attached to the top “D” ring. \nSquaring Up \nTo determine if a rectangular or square canvas is “square” or “squared up”\, measure the diagonal of the canvas/artwork\, and it should be the same length both ways. Please refer to Figure 4. \nFoxing & Mould \nFoxing is an age-related process of deterioration that causes spots and browning and can appear as brown\, yellow\, or red stains on the paper or canvas. If it appears on an artwork mat\, the work must be reframed with a new mat. If it appears on the canvas or paper\, it must be treated and repainted\, so it is not visible. \nArtwork Labels  \nClearly mark the artist’s name\, contact details\, the title of work\, and price on an artwork label\, to be placed on the back of the work. We need this information to easily identify your artwork before the exhibition labels (didactics) and catalogue are printed for the exhibition. Some artists choose to write this information on the back of the frame/canvas directly. You may also choose to include this on a removable/temporary label\, or on a permanent label or “Certificate of Authenticity”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] \nENTRIES HAVE NOW CLOSED.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n
