𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 is a mentorship-driven program showcasing the creative development of emerging visual artists and arts writers from the Townsville region. Delivered in partnership between Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and Townsville City Galleries, the program supports five early career practitioners with one-on-one mentorship, professional development sessions, networking opportunities and group critiques. Mentees deepen their understanding of contemporary arts practice while refining their individual artistic or writing voices. To celebrate 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 and its outcomes, Perc Tucker Regional Gallery is pleased to present an end of program exhibition displaying works created by the artist mentees Drosera (Michael Klekar), Matilda Mathieu, Carly Sheil and Ekam Tra (Kate Fulton), alongside writing mentee Sonia Zabala. The exhibition presents new works developed during the mentorships and alternates annually between Umbrella and Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, celebrating the growth, experimentation and ambition of North Queensland’s next generation of arts practitioners.
𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 is exhibiting at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery 31 October 2026 – 17 January 2027 alongside 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴 and 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵 3: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘒𝘢𝘨𝘪 𝘎𝘪𝘧𝘵.
