The Emerging Artists Development Program [EADP] works with referees from the Special Circumstances Courts in Brisbane and has been running on “less than average” funds for years now. The program is mentor and relationship based and aims for the participants to expand their arts skills into canvas work, screen-printing and drawing. This is a unique program that over the past 5 years has given leadership in the arts and social services sectors in Brisbane and plays a significant part in the development of troubled youth, the growth of emerging artists and a positive application of the rule of law through the judicial system. 50/50 is a fundraiser exhibition bringing together emerging mid-career and developing artists. These artists donate their work to be sold by Silent Auction beginning at $50 with the intention of supporting Jugglers and the EADP. The exhibition organisers and curators are Yannick Blattner, Clinton Cunningham, Jaclyn Bates and Char Chamez. The opening night is February 3rd 2012. |

Maryanne draws inspiration from the colour and beauty of life. From the desire to live life like an illustrated adventure, she creates female characters that bring happiness, colour and playfulness to life, Maryanne makes art that inspires the desire to love life and follow your dreams …without fear, remaining positive, always being brave and never accepting the ordinary.

"I was first introduced to the space several years back when some friends (Blends and Seiko) had a space upstairs. Since then I’ve had a couple of exhibitions in the gallery space, and created a lot of graffiti work in the tunnel and back area."

Karl’s practice stems from a long history with street arts formal properties. Currently completing a BFA, a questioning of the conceptual underpinnings in visual culture has ensued. Relations between colour, image and language, demonstrate how subjective the perception of information is. Different colours of house paint need a name to be sold. From a limited vocabulary of colours, small narratives are created. These words are put in a search engine to generate an image, and juxtaposed with their corresponding colour. Today it seems there’s an answer for everything, with the ability to almost not have to think, but just who or what is creating our visual culture?
