General Admission
Presented by Flying Arts
The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA), established in 2011, celebrate the creativity of artists living across regional Queensland. As Australia’s largest regional art awards program, the QRAA showcases outstanding new work while offering valuable opportunities, including cash prizes, professional development, solo exhibitions, and artist residencies.
The theme for the 2026 QRAA is momentum. Continuous forward movement requires great balance. In keeping up with a fast-paced society, art provides a space of reflection and innovation. Critique and reflection through art and culture is what maintains the forward movement of our society. Each well resolved artwork is propelled forward by iteration on the last and builds on history and legacy in the arts.
The QRAA is open to artists from across Queensland living outside the Brisbane City Council boundary. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to share in Australia’s largest regional art awards prize pool. Entries for 2026 open on Monday August 10.
Flying Arts is honoured to acknowledge the Governor of Queensland, Her Excellency Dr Jeanette Young AC PSM as our Patron. We also acknowledge Mr Tim Fairfax AC and Mrs Gina Fairfax AC as our Cultural Patrons.
Flying Arts is a not-for-profit organisation inspiring the appreciation, practice and professional development of the visual and media arts as a lifetime interest or career throughout regional and remote Queensland.
Flying Arts is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. Flying Arts is supported by the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation and receives funds from Creative Partnerships Australia through the Australian Cultural Fund. Flying Arts is supported by corporate partners and benefactors.
Flying Arts is the administrator in Queensland of the Regional Arts Fund (RAF), an Australian Government program provided through Regional Arts Australia.
