Receive Respond

Venue: Tanks Arts Centre

Exhibition: 22 May - 21 Jun
Launch: 5.30pm, Fri 22 May

The Receive>Respond arts challenge and culminating exhibition provide an opportunity for artists aged 15 to 25 in the Cairns region to share their passion for art and collaboration.

The challenge is simple. Artists create an artwork and then are paired Secret Santa style with another artist. Each artist responds to their received artwork with a new artwork and "voila!", Receive>Respond.

The resulting exhibition places the paired works together and gives the artists the chance to meet each other and discuss their responses.

The challenge highlights the talent and diversity of creative expression here in our own backyard.

Special thanks to Project Coordinator, Jane Younghusband; Youth Curator, Bianca Sordelli; and Guest Selection Panellists, Catherine Curnow, Cairns Indigenous Art Fair.
