Group Show
Oprah has an Art Degree

Exhibition dates: 30 June - 11 July, 2021

Creativity, attention to detail, emotional intelligence - are the qualities of the sum of us Arts Degree graduates.

This exhibition is to fight back against the misconception that Arts Degrees don’t have the right in-demand job skills determined by a conservative government in a financial crisis. An arts student's contribution to their degree is now higher than someone doing medicine. Education Minister Dan Tehan told the National Press Club that the Government was unashamedly trying to steer students away from humanities and the arts.
This is despite himself having obtained an Arts Degree!

This exhibition will highlight the broad contribution that the arts have made that is more than the money we make and the goods and services we produce. It is about the conversations we help start and the way in which we interact with the wider world.
Works to be made fall under one or more of the following areas:

Music / Drama / Cinema
International Studies
Archaeology
Communication
Cultural, Ethnic, & Gender
Language and Literature
History
Law
Philosophy
Religion
Anthropology
Geography
Political
Sociology
Urban studies

The contribution of these disciplines has been overlooked in discussions of economic and commercial value. These are fundamentally issues of human behaviour and social interaction.
We are critical arts thinkers’ that form multidisciplinary teams that understand human behaviour and can connect with people. In particular, our ability for succinct visual communication, that may tackle unfamiliar problems, combined with the ability for critical analysis, we are individuals that assess risks and give owing consideration to ethical issues.

Arts graduates play an important role towards the future and we ARE part of the solution!
