Receive & Respond 2023 Exhibition at The Court House Gallery
Event by Court House Gallery.
The Receive>Respond arts challenge and culminating exhibition provide an opportunity for artists aged 15 to 25 in the Cairns region to share their passion for art and collaboration.
The challenge is simple. This year’s selector, NorthSite Acting Director, Hamish Sawyer, receives all submissions and selects approximately 30 to participate. He then pairs up the artists like a “Secret Santa”. Each artist receives their paired artwork and then creates a new artwork that responds in some way to that image.
The resulting exhibition places the paired works together and gives the artists the chance to meet each other and discuss their responses. This challenge highlights the talent and diversity of creative expression here in our own backyard.
There is also a Reflect component to the Receive>Respond program, including professional and creative development workshops for selected artists, helping to ease them into the vibrant community of young creatives we have in our region.
EXHIBITION LAUNCH: 6pm Friday 26 May
EXHIBITION RUNS: Thursday 25 May to Saturday 17 June
Cost: Court House Gallery is completely FREE to visit
