Decadence - The Touring Exhibition

In 2020 the Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) celebrates 10 years, a decade of rewarding and celebrating Queensland regional arts and the wealth of creativity and imagination thriving in the regions.

Decadence may invite notions of luxury and self-indulgence. It may evoke ideas of wanton excess or wastefulness, perhaps with a casual or deliberate disregard of consequence. Dependent on the circumstance, personal definitions of decadence can shift quite suddenly.

In 2020, artists were encouraged to explore the complex notion of decadence within their own communities and households across Queensland – both in times of shortage and in times of plenty.

The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) is an annual visual arts prize and exhibition for established and emerging artists living in regional and remote Queensland. The program aims to provide a platform for further professional development.
