The Merv Landscape Award Touring Exhibition - Brisbane

The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA), established in 2011, celebrate the creativity of artists living across regional Queensland. As Australia’s largest regional art awards program, the QRAA showcases outstanding new work while offering valuable opportunities, including cash prizes, professional development, solo exhibitions, and artist residencies.

The Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award is a category within the QRAA, named in honour of founder Mervyn Moriarty OAM. The Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Touring Exhibition was inaugurated in 2021 as a separate touring exhibition of selected entries.

The theme for the 2025 QRAA is momentum. Continuous forward movement requires great balance. In keeping up with a fast-paced society, art provides a space of reflection and innovation. Critique and reflection through art and culture is what maintains the forward movement of our society. Each well resolved artwork is propelled forward by iteration on the last and builds on history and legacy in the arts.

The Brisbane Exhibition will run from 31 August to 20 November at 1 William Street.
