What our partners are saying about PCPA
‘This workshop has been a great self-esteem boost for the students and gives them a taste of how art can involve the wider community. I would highly recommend any school to be involved with PCPA and look forward to seeing more creative student work from around Queensland, as well as from around Australia and the Pacific!’
- Karina Talbott, Babinda State School Visual Arts Teacher.
‘I was extremely impressed by the breadth of the exhibition Never So Visible which brought contemporary photography from China, Romania, India, Malaysia and Australia to the walls of our gallery in Cairns. Their thoughtful and exquisitely produced exhibition provided our community with a unique exhibition that spoke to their understanding and awareness of contemporary photographic practice from around the world.’
— Ashleigh Campbell, Director, NorthSite Contemporary Arts, Cairns, Queensland.
‘Sean and Aishah at Pacific Centre for Photographic Arts give us their time. They never rush us or push us to make something, they just work with us and help us show who we are as Aboriginal people. I am very happy to work with Sean and Aishah. I think they can make good projects all over Australia with other deaf mob and also people who can express themselves.’
- Sue Frank, Deaf Indigenous Dance Group, Cairns, Queensland.
