PROGRAMS
The Gallery experience is enriched by programs that illuminate
the artwork on display and create connections to the everyday.
Signature program series such as GOMA Talks and Up Late
augment major exhibitions, while frequent talks, tours and
workshops create even more opportunities to connect with
art and artists.
The renewed APT8 Conference was a focused scholarly look
at the themes and work in the exhibition. Through the newly
launched Brisbane Consortium for the Visual Arts — which unites
QAGOMA, the University of Queensland, Griffith University and
the Queensland University of Technology in collaboration
on research activity — the conference was staged alongside
the annual conference of the Art Association of Australia and
New Zealand.
