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.
