Second year Running !!!!
Building on the success of the 2025 program, we are inviting 5 First Nations artists to submit an Expression of Interest for the 2026 cohort. This six-day intensive, delivered between April–July 2026 at Redcliffe Art Gallery on Kabi Kabi Country, will guide participants through the foundations of exhibition production — from concept to installation.
Participating artists will receive an honorarium of $800. Workshops will be held at Redcliffe Art Gallery, one day per fortnight, commencing
14 April through to 28 May.
This will include:
• Two online meetings in June (dates TBC)
• Installation days on 15 & 16 July (TBC)
Working alongside the Incredible Moreton Bay gallery team, Munimba-ja Blak Creatives and industry professionals, participants will gain hands-on experience in Curatorial thinking, Exhibition development, and navigating institutional gallery contexts.
Blak Creatives is Munimba-ja Arts centre’s Indigenous-led professional development program providing culturally safe, community-centred support for First Nations artists.
