The QCA Showcase 2014 will transform the Griffith University's South Bank campus into an exposition of the work of graduating students from the University's schools of fine art, film, photography, contemporary Australian Indigenous art and design.
Join students and arts industry professionals to witness firsthand the talent of Queensland's emerging artists and the quality and diversity of visual art education offered by QCA. Many of the works exhibited are for sale giving you the opportunity to kick-start young artists on their way to professional careers in the many diverse and exciting art forms mastered by them during their time at QCA – you might even get in on the ground floor with an early piece from the next Sidney Nolan, Faberge or Baz Luhrmann!
