Disciplines
Queensland College of Art
Established in 1881, the Queensland College of Art is one of Australia's longest-running art and design colleges. It offers the widest range of visual art programs in Australia, and includes the Griffith Film School, which moved into new purpose-built premises at South Bank in March 2007.
The College traces its origin to a drawing class at the Brisbane School of Arts, which was attended by 22 students. We celebrated our 125th anniversary in 2006 and today we are a community of around 1200 artists, designers, animators, photographers, film-makers.
Over the years we have brought together some of the finest practitioners and academics in the areas of visual arts, design, Indigenous art and the moving image, and produced some of Australia’s leading visual artists and designers who have helped to shape the art and design culture of Queensland and Australia.
Griffith Film School
The Griffith Film School prepares the next generation of Film-makers, Animators and Game designers for creative and exciting careers within the international business of film, television and digital screen media creation.
Our commitment is to give you the opportunity to learn from some of the most distinguished and notable experts, both industry practitioners and academics, visiting professors, fellows and tutors within the disciplines of drama, documentary, television, animation and games.
Being in the top 5% of Universities globally, we pride ourselves on our strong partnerships with our corporate and industry partners. Our students work with clients to gain hands-on professional skills thereby establishing their own reputations and career paths.
Postgraduates and Other Projects Gallery
P0P is a new art gallery designed for exhibiting and examining Postgraduate Art students of QCA and to collaborate with Other Projects that are linked with artists associated with QCA.
P0P Gallery is situated in the new art precinct of Woolloongabba. Situated off campus means that artists benefit from the diversity of the passing trade either viewing via vehicle or on foot. There is a fortnightly turnover of art, usually accompanied by an opening, artist talks or performance. There are two rooms one is the main gallery and an installation room and/or projection room. A more significant tool of an artist's practice is 'networking' and is an important role played in a social art context of P0P.
The P0P website and our facebook page are also available to offer a place for art discourse and a means to catch up on artists’ art practice and where a favourite QCA artist is exhibiting or published. Another feature is the 'Other Projects' section, where you can be inspired by what artists associated with P0P and QCA are doing in their art careers at QCA and beyond.
P0P is open Tuesday to Friday from 11am-6pm and on Saturdays from 10am-4pm.
