About the Program
The Aussie Artist Tour exposes participants to various aspects of Australian art. It also aims to enhance their artistic abilities whilst allowing them to experience Australia and its attractions.
Tour members will learn about Australian Indigenous art, art history and contemporary art as well as developing their own artistic talents. Both beginner and practiced artists are welcome to be a part of this opportunity to experience Australia from an artistic perspective. Using the Australian environment and culture as the source for inspiration participants will be developing their artistic skills with the guidance of qualified and experienced instructors.
The Aussie Artist Tour is based in Brisbane , the capital city of Queensland. Participants will stay with homestay families who will provide them with a comfortable room in which to sleep and three meals per day. This also gives them the opportunity to experience the Australian lifestyle as a member of an Australian family.
Artistic groups are welcome to adjust the program content to suite their needs as well as choose dates which are ideal for them. Please contact Study Tours Australia to discuss this further and for a free quote.
STA also caters for individual students by offering a program during the main holiday periods for a very competitive price. We have provided further information on how to book or you are welcome to contact Study Tours Australia for further information.
