Creative Generation 2022
Excellence Awards in Visual Arts
Whole Gallery
The Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art (the awards) promote and recognise excellence in senior visual art education and student achievement in visual art throughout Queensland’s state and non-state schools.
Since 1990, the program has helped raise community awareness of the degree of sophistication in concepts, diversity of technical competence, and the high standard of visual art education in Queensland secondary schools.
The program comprises:
• the submission of 3 digital photographs of student artwork and supporting information
• the judging of all artworks to determine the excellence award recipients
• regional exhibitions showcasing all eligible, submitted artworks
• an online gallery of all eligible, submitted artworks
• an exhibition of excellence awarded artworks at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane.
In recognition of the breadth of the visual arts, students working in the mediums of video, film and electronic imaging, as well as ceramics, costume and stage design, drawing, environmental design, fibre arts, graphic design, installation, painting, performance art, photography, printmaking, product design and sculpture are encouraged to apply.
The awards offer the only collective exhibition of senior student artwork from each region of Queensland. It is an initiative that has led to widespread recognition of the excellent work senior visual art students are producing, as well as enabling students and teachers throughout the state to share and appreciate the diversity of artwork produced in Queensland secondary schools.
This program is proudly delivered in partnership with Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).

The Mundagudda ProjectThe Mundagudda Project is a collaboration between 11 artists, 6 of which are First Nations Peoples, to create a song and performance celebrating the spirit of Mundagudda (Rainbow Serpent). This year Judy Hammond will be performing the second iteration of this song at the opening event for the NAIDOC exhibition on June 18, accompanied by musicians and a contemporary dance by her daughter Araya.
As an extension of this project, Judy Hammond hosted a workshop at the Butter Factory for indigenous primary school students to hear the story of Mundagudda. They then painted their own interpretation of the spirit, or their totem, onto ceramic tiles which will be displayed in the NAIDOC exhibition. The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. |
