Flying Arts Alliance is an arts and cultural development organisation which has been delivering visual arts projects and services to regional and remote Queensland since 1971. The organisation has played a significant role in inspiring artists and communities, as well as helping to overcome the impacts of regional isolation and remote living.
The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) are Flying Arts Alliance’s annual visual arts awards for established and emerging artists living in regional Queensland offering Australia’s largest regional art awards prize pool. The 2025 finalists are exhibited in Brisbane and then toured around the state in 2026.
The theme for the 2025 QRAA is momentum. Continuous forward movement requires great balance. In keeping up with a fast-paced society, art provides a space of reflection and innovation. Critique and reflection through art and culture is what maintains the forward movement of our society. Each well resolved artwork is propelled forward by iteration on the last and builds on history and legacy in the arts.
