UNLEASHED Showcases Queensland’s Emerging Craft and Design

Unleashed is a longstanding biennial exhibition project, drawing together a select cohort of early-career Queensland craft and design practitioners and launching their careers.

Exploring the convergence between craft and design, Unleashed has been instrumental in launching some of our state’s best talent.⁠

This iteration—UNLEASHED: Fresh Meet—will, for the first time, deliver a co-curated overview from across regional Queensland. An invited curatorial panel of arts educators, curators and practitioners from 5 different regional communities will each nominate one exemplary early career practitioner from their region.
