Art Guide: Misfit: Collage and Queer Practice

Article by Nadiah Abdulrahim

“One of the aims in curating Misfit is for people to realise that living a queer life does affect how you make art, how you see the world, and how you live your life. According to Scott Elliot, curator, there is a collective queer way of working and thinking.”

Check out the full Art Guide review of Misfit: Collage and queer practice through the link below.

We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the Prudence MacLeod Prize.

The Prudence MacLeod Prize, which will continue for a further three years, supports a recent National Art School graduate to undertake a six-month residency at @acme.art, London.

Supported by the Lansdowne Foundation, the Prize provides an emerging artist with an opportunity to step forward into an expanded, international context at a vital time in their career. The artist will live and work in London, one of the world`s great art cities, in a supportive artist community. This important opportunity will enable the artist to forge professional international contacts, explore London`s art world and rich cultural resources, and produce a new body of work.

The recipient of this Prize will receive:
– Return travel to London. To be arranged for the artist by NAS.
– Studio accommodation and workspace at Acme Studios for 6 months.
– Living stipend of $AUD3,500 per month for 6 months. Total $AUD21,000.
