The Transitions program combines mentorship, critiques and development for emerging visual artists. This exhibition celebrates the mentee participants and the progress they have made during the program. It includes experiments and works-in-progress in the Studio Showcase cabinet, along with selected resolved works in the gallery space.
The Transitions program is a partnership between Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and Townsville City Galleries.
