Entries are now open for the first RQAS exhibiton of 2027: Objects of Affection!
This exhibition explores the quiet power of still life and inanimate objects — the everyday things we surround ourselves with, and the deep sentimental meanings we assign to them. From a worn chair that holds family history to a simple cup that carries the memory of a loved one, these works examine how objects become vessels of emotion, memory, and intimacy. Rather than treating still life as a traditional study of form and light, the exhibition focuses on the relationships we form with the material world. Artists investigate how ordinary things absorb our experiences, hold our stories, and continue to speak to us long after their practical purpose has faded.
Artists are invited to submit artworks in their own choice of media including both 2D and 3D works.
This exhibition is not judged. People’s Choice will be awarded at the end of the Exhibition with the winner receiving a free Membership to RQAS Brisbane Branch for 12 months.
Entries due: Wednesday 13th of January 2027, 3:30pm
Entry fees:
- $20 for RQAS Brisbane Members
- $35 for non-members
On show at RQAS Brisbane Gallery from Friday, 22nd January to Sunday, 14th February, 2027.
