The Queensland College of Art and Design (QCAD) studios provide an outstanding practical and community-building environment in which students develop creative practices in a range of disciplines.
QCAD studios include technical workshops, fully-equipped print, jewellery and photography studios as well as substantial studios for drawing, painting, sculpture, contemporary Australian Indigenous art and design.
The studios, located across our South Bank and Gold Coast campuses at QCAD, not only an provide ideal setting for the development of student work and teaching, but also provide an important shared space for exchange and critique between peers, staff and visiting artists.
In a student’s third year, visual arts students are provided with longer term studio spaces to develop a final body of work for the graduation exhibition. This continuity and ownership of a studio space in the third year enables students to build studio skills and work habits that are at the core of professional visual arts practice.
