Creative Generation Excellence
Awards in Visual Art and Design
An initiative of the Queensland
Government’s Department of
Education and Training, the Awards
are supported by the Queensland
Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art
and Museum and Gallery Services
Queensland.
The works on display in the 2012
‘Creative Generation Excellence
Awards in Visual Art and Design’
were selected from works produced
in 2011 by students across the
state — from metropolitan, regional
and remote communities, including
Townsville, Cairns, Noosa and
Goondiwindi. Also on show in the
exhibition space was a DVD featuring
the artists as they discussed their
techniques, ideas and processes.
