Q150 mosaic art project
The creative genius of individual artists and collaborative groups across Queensland has been applied to artworks that reflect their communities’ past and vision for the future. Their work is part of a collaborative Q150 mosaic art piece project between state and local government.
A kaleidoscope of tiles has recently been returned to the Q150 office by Queensland’s councils. The final mosaic artwork will now be curated by Sam Di Mauro from Griffith University’s Queensland College of Arts.
Di Mauro and his design team have the challenge of compiling a mosaic from 150 tiles that reach deep into the psyche of Queensland communities. The result will be a meaningful visual display marking Queensland’s 150th anniversary celebrations for all Queenslanders.
The mosaic will be permanently displayed at the RNA Showgrounds and unveiled at the Ekka in Brisbane this year. An online exhibition for the Q150 mosaic, featuring individual tiles and the stories behind them, will be available soon.
