About the theme:

In 2022 the QRAA address the concept to ‘Reframe’, calling upon artists to enter work which draws upon experiences and observations, reflecting upon the past year and responding to the challenges faced today.

‘Reframe’ is an opportunity to see a current situation from a different perspective, to inspire problem solving, decision making and learning, whilst constructively moving on and evolving.
