Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art's In Residence program is a Department of Education (DoE) program, supported by the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).
In Residence is held annually for 3 days through December at QAGOMA, providing Year 10 Queensland visual art students with the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of the academic, experimental, collaborative and reflective nature of contemporary visual art and gain an appreciation for the breadth of opportunities in the creative industries.
Throughout the 3 days, students engage with exhibitions at QAGOMA, artists and tertiary partners as they participate in creative making and responding workshops.
In Residence is open to all current Year 10 Queensland state and non-state school students who are or will be enrolled to study senior visual art in 2023.
In Residence 2022 will be held live in Brisbane from 29 November to 1 December 2022.
