Special Announcement: Artist Residency with CQ RASN

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been selected as one of eight Central Queensland artists to take part in CQ RASN’s artist ‘at home’ residency program for the month of June!

This is the second round in the Tough and Tender Beauty program and runs from 8 June - 3 July. With funding support from CQ RASN, I’ll be creating a new body of work this month which will be an opportunity to reflect on my experiences during the ongoing COVID-19 situation and associated physical isolation. The residency program also includes a program of professional development opportunities and weekly networking with the other artists.

You can follow along with this project in the following ways:

• CQ RASN’s Facebook or Instagram @cq_rasn

• Tough and Tender beauty blog - you can read my first post about my progress here, and check out what the other artists are up. I’ll be contributing another 2 blogs during the course of the residency program.

• My new Instagram account @oliviaeverittprojects. I’ve been a long term Instagram user, but this residency presented the perfect opportunity to tick ‘build social media presence’ off my business battle board. I would love for you to follow me to stay in the loop about the residency, and also other projects coming online in the near future!

I also wanted to note that South Burnett Arts Hour is continuing this month, with the third session under our belt earlier this week with special guests Mayor Brett Otto and Melinda Jones. The next session is penciled in for Tuesday 23 June 12-1pm with details due to be released shortly. Thank you to South Burnett Arts for partnering with me on this project and to BIEDO for enabling these sessions to take place via Zoom. You can catch the recording from the session held on 9 June here.
