Thanks to everyone who was involved in Artiz 2011! It was a fantastic and action packed four days. Click here to view the Flying Arts VizArts4 Young People Facebook page for updates on Artiz and other opportunities for young artists.

 

Some of the feedback from the 2011 Artiz participants...

“Overall the week was a really informative and inspiring experience. I will come away with pages of notes in my art diary and further knowledge to guide me in the journey i choose to pursue after year twelve.” Natasha, Cairns, Year 12

“This week has been one of the best in my life. It's given me a whole new perspective on art. I really hope that next year it's just as close or closer, because I couldn't get all the way out to a city like Brisbane.” Claire, Cairns, Year 11

"I enjoyed the information sessions because I learnt a lot. It was good getting advice from professional artists and people in art related businesses and learning what you need to do to start a career in the arts" Kate, Mackay, Year 12

 

 

This year the annual gathering of gifted and talented young artists aged 15 -18 years old from Queensland high schools around the state took place in Townsville, in conjunction with James Cook University.

 

This four day visual arts event featured a stimulating program of hands-on creative experiences as well as information, expertise and resources to provide students with a full picture of training, education and career opportunities. Top line artists, arts educators and special guests will all contribute to a high quality program designed to provide a platform for future practice, education and career.

 

Artiz is a must do program for young artists looking for professional training and career direction. It is run as a non-residential day program with students committed to the full four days of activities and will be back in 2012.
