partnering

You are looking for a partner for your next project and don’t know where to start?

YAQ can offer you different partnership levels for your project:

  • project partner – we come on board and take an active role in getting a joint project off the ground and share in the responsibility of making it a success;
  • supporting partner – we provide support and advice to your project as required; or
  • auspicing body – we support your project as a financial manager; this partnership level applies for grant schemes that require the grant recipient to have deductible gift recipient status or to be an incorporated organisation. This applies to a range of grant schemes that individual artists and unincorporated collectives or groups can apply for.

Over the years, we’ve partnered with various organisations, artists and collectives and helped them in making their projects a success. Recent examples include:

Optica12

Optica12 is a program of twelve screen-based works by young emerging artists running monthly in the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts shop-front windows throughout 2011. Curated by SONOPTIK.org with the assistance of the Judith Wright Centre Of Contemporary Arts, YAQ supports this program by providing ongoing advice and promotional support. For more information, visit www.optica12.com.

Auspicing Iceland

Melody & Angela
In 2009, YAQ supported and auspiced young artist and 2008 YAMP participant Melody Woodnutt in her application for the Nes Listamidstod Artist Residency in Skagaströnd, Iceland. This amazing residency resulted in exhibitions in both Iceland and Brisbane and across-the-globe collaborations.

If you’re interested in Melody’s work, visit her website.

All partnerships YAQ enters into have a memorandum of understand (MOU) attached to it that clearly outlines the responsibilities of each party involved. MOUs are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
