Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art's In Residence program is a Department of Education program supported by the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).
In Residence is held annually for 3 days through November/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 the following year.
2024 In Residence will be held live in Brisbane from 26–28 November 2024. Nominations for the 2024 program are open until 17 September 2024.
