The Visual Field: Art Industry Insights for Teens
The Visual Field is our professional development program for teens curious about a career in the arts after school. Participants will meet artists, curators, content creators, and industry professionals to explore different career pathways during a weekend intensive at the IMA.
Grade 11 and 12 students are invited to learn about the industry, connect with likeminded peers, gain valuable art writing skills, and be immersed in the exciting world of contemporary art. This three-day face to face experience is delivered in partnership with Flying Arts Alliance.
This year, the Visual Field will be held from 29 June–1 July.
Participation costs are only $100 for this three-day program and include catering. Bursaries are available to cover registration costs. Please contact Flying Arts for registration or bursary enquiries at info@flyingarts.org.au or on +61 7 3216 132.
