Plan to revive area’s creative dreams

IN a fightback, Southern Downs artists have decided it will take more than a global pandemic to put their talent out of the spotlight.

Warwick Art Gallery has announced the first Condamine Country Art and Craft Trail, to be held on October 17 and 18.

Calling itself the smaller sister and opening act to the Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail, held over the last two weekends of October, the project wants artists north of Dalveen to get involved in an interactive tourist map of studios, galleries and collectives.

Warwick Art Gallery director Karina Devine said the event announcement comes at a time of year where the region’s talent would usually be frenetic with Jumpers and Jazz preparation.

Limited artist applications have begun for CCART and are available through www.ccarttrail.com.
