Art Exhibition at Fairholme
2021 Facets: An Art Exhibition at Fairholme

The Art Exhibition Committee are currently seeking Expressions of Interest from artists to participate in this year’s Facets: An Art Exhibition at Fairholme that will be held at the College May 21-23.
Exhibition Background
In 2017, Fairholme College, (a College of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland), celebrated ‘100 Years At Fairholme’ and as a part of the festivities to mark this exciting milestone, an inaugural Art Exhibition, the ‘Facets of Fairholme’, was held at the College. Following on from the success of this boutique exhibition, plans are underway to host another such event in 2021.
The intent of Facets: An Art Exhibition at Fairholme is to offer Artists, Students and audience members a shared platform in which to intellectually engage in the expression of lateral thought and current arts practices, by exploring human experiences and encouraging, challenging and provoking new ways of connecting and appreciating the world around us.

Exhibition Brief
Now in its fourth year, the ‘Facets’ committee is delighted to invite artists to an open call for submissions for this year’s Art Exhibition. Held late May 2021, the exhibition will provide local, regional, national and international artists an exciting opportunity to exhibit their works in a refined, boutique setting.
