The Incubator is a Hands On Art project that provides senior students and young artists the chance to gain experience in exhibiting their artwork in a public art space.
Students from Brisbane and the Moreton Bay Region are invited to submit their work for display in our annual exhibition which celebrates the talented young creatives in our community. Prizes are awarded to those artists whose work shows skill, creativity and conceptual depth.
This year due to the Covid-19 outbreak we have decided to host the exhibition online. Works accepted for submission this year are any medium including sculpture, photography and video. Online work or digital work is fine as long as it can be viewed online.
The main prize like last year is a residency at Hands On Art in their artists’ studio when it is once again reopen and able to be used by the public. The selected artist will have access to studio and exhibition space and will be able to work alongside and be mentored by experienced Hands On Art artists. This is a great opportunity for a young artist wishing to gain experience in the art industry. The winning artist will also get the chance to exhibit what they make during their residency in the Hands On Art gallery space.
As well as giving artists a stage to showcase their work, The Incubator also provides professional development opportunities in the form of a workshop run by an experienced artist.
The exhibition will be online for a month and visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite artwork. This artist will receive the People’ Choice Award.
