Queensland Year 10 visual art students have the opportunity to participate in the Visual Arts In Residence program. This program is designed to enhance their understanding of the academic, experimental, collaborative, and reflective aspects of contemporary visual art.
The Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art recognise and promote excellence in senior visual art education throughout Queensland state and non-state schools.
Since 1990, the program has helped raise community awareness of the degree of sophistication in concepts, diversity of technical competence, and the high standard of visual art education in Queensland secondary schools.
Congratulations to the 2026/2027 shortlisted students who received excellence, commendation, and regional distinction awards. Head to the award recipients page to see the 2026 recipients and their work and don't forget to check out the Excellence Winner's works at the central exhibition at the Gallery of Mordern Art (GOMA) in 2027.
