John Briggs is a visual artist from Dutton Park in Brisbane who has since relocated to the UK.
John was awarded a SAFE grant in 2013 to go towards Unframed, his exhibition at the Fortitude Valley gallery Jugglers Art Space.
What did the SAFE grant mean to John?
“As a result of staging the exhibition I learnt about the other side of art – the presentation. My art was a medium with which to communicate.”
“At the end of the day, the SAFE grant brings people together and they communicate, which is a good thing.”
“An absolute life saver. It enabled me to take my art to its natural progression – an exhibition!”
