First Light

Overview

Located in West End, The Hold Artspace ‘aims to foster innovative and critical practice amongst early and mid-career artists’. With that in mind, The Hold presents First Light, a first look, so to speak, of some of the next wave of Australian artists.

The works on show are from twenty-six students from the Queensland College of Art, this exhibition represents one of their first forays into the art world in an exhibition dedicated to showcasing their budding talent.

The exhibition itself is varied, with no set theme aside from the brief description that the works will ‘explore a range of topics through contemporary photographic art practice’. Although this might not give much away, rest assured that each piece will resonate with youthful vibrancy and the talent will be on par with most professional level exhibitions.

The student artists on display are as follows:

Sam Adams
Alice Alderman
Jaala Alex
Jacqueline Bawtree
Jessica Bell
Cherie Blyth
Anna Birkett
Jess Collins
Helen Corr
Lesley Denny

Adam Michael Green

The opening night is this Wednesday and the exhibition will wrap up on the 9th of June.
