## About

Queensland arts organisation connecting regional artists, educators and communities since 1971.

Flying Arts is an arts and cultural development organisation delivering visual arts projects and services to regional and remote Queensland since 1971. It runs the Queensland Regional Art Awards, Australia's largest regional art awards program, along with touring exhibitions, artist talks and online artist development sessions. Through its By Request Program, building on the legacy of founder Merv Moriarty, it brings custom art programs to schools, communities and councils across the state.

The organisation has played a significant role in inspiring artists and communities and helping overcome the impacts of regional isolation and remote living.
