Step inside the world of artistic excellence with WCEI Queensland as we enjoy a tour of the prestigious 2025 Brisbane Portrait Prize, coming up, close and personally with artistic representations of local heroes and identities.
Our very own WCEI QLD Member, Margaret Campbell Ryder will guide us through the exhibition as we discover extraordinary works up close, connect with fellow members in an inspiring cultural setting, and experience one of Brisbane’s most celebrated art events through the WCEI lens. Catherine Baudet, a former National and Queensland President will be our host for the evening .
At this event, we will be taking the opportunity to farewell our current State President, Suzanne Bosanquet, as she concludes her two year term in the role.
