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. |

Emily Devers
MIMI (Emily Devers) considers herself a creative, rather than an artist. Practices include a range of media including illustration, brand development, tattooing, and photography (on a good day).
This year she’s embraced a hiatus from the tertiary world and has been exhibiting, curating and co-creating with other brisbane artists.
Earlier in 2011 she curated and featured in a fundraiser exhibition at Brisbane’s now extinct architectural gem - The Alley. Painting live with artist Mad Betty, the work was donated by auction to the Suong Appeal.
More recently she curated Blackstar’s first photographic exhibition ‘Tassie by Treadly’ which turned into a 250+ person party, and co-curated and won the annual ‘Paint Off’ at street art cafe Lucky Duck.Right now, she’s looking forward to a solo exhibition upon her return from New York.
