QCAD Visual Art Masterclass Series
Open to the public, the masterclasses fall into two categories: the QCAD Visual Art Masterclass Series and Technical Workshops in Printmaking and Jewellery & Small Objects.
The QCAD Visual Art Masterclass Series is a series of high-profile cross-disciplinary artists invited to deliver weekend masterclasses. These classes are designed to connect QCAD to high-profile artists and the broader national visual arts community while also providing opportunities for members of the public to connect with QCAD.
The technical workshops in Printmaking and Jewellery & Small Objects are specialist technical classes where students and members of the public can learn from QCAD academics and leading industry practitioners using the QCAD state-of-the-art studios and workshops.
There are also ongoing exhibitions, graduate student showcases, and QCAD events throughout the year. You can view the galleries event page here.

TONY ALBERT MASTERCLASS, 2021
QCAD Visual Art students recently gained a unique insight into the studio practice of one of Australia’s most outstanding artists. Participants collaborated with Tony Albert during an intensive weekend masterclass investigating his practice and processes to creating their own artwork response.
A QCAD CAIA alumnus, Tony Albert has a multidisciplinary practice that investigates contemporary legacies of colonialism, prompting audiences to contemplate the human condition. His technique and imagery displace traditional Australian Aboriginal aesthetics with an urban conceptuality. Appropriating textual references from sources as diverse as popular music, film, fiction, and art history, Albert plays with the tension arising from the visibility, and in-turn, the invisibility of Aboriginal people across the news media, literature, and the visual world.
