"The Fardoulys family has a long history with Churchie. We have a personal interest with some significant level of achievement within the art world and we take every opportunity to support Australian emerging artists. Fardoulys Constructions has supported the School in many ways and this exhibition allows us to support emerging artists towards whatever success may come their way. Along with the social benefits to the school community, this exhibition is amongst the ultimate in art experiences. The artists bring their own backgrounds, tastes and enthusiasm which is why this year the Fardoulys family is again a proud supporter of 'the churchie'.”

We, at Chapman & Bailey understand the need to support and nurture emerging artists.

Clickonprint PhotoBooks has enjoyed a long association as sponsor for the churchie national emerging art exhibition since our beginnings in 2007 and we thoroughly enjoy our participation and the innovative approach that we see in the entries each year. Well done and congratulations to all of the entrants and especially to the finalists and to the winner. We hope you enjoy the quality and presentation of our commemorative Clickonprint PhotoBook for the churchie 2012. We proudly hand make our books using age old book binding techniques right here in Brisbane and we like to think of each of our PhotoBooks as a unique work of art too.

Because we strongly believe in supporting emerging artists, 'the churchie' is a perfect association for us, and we are delighted to be a part of it.”

“The Churchie Old Boys’ Association has proudly been a long-term sponsor and supporter of the churchie emerging art exhibition.  We recognise the very significant recent growth of the arts within schools, universities and the broader Australian community, particularly with young people and their use of modern technology and traditional resources.  We are very pleased to be a partner in fostering and encouraging the creative talents of these artists and their budding careers. Likewise, it is with pride that we also actively support Churchie students and members of the Churchie OBA who continue to make a significant mark in a range of creative industries in Australia.  We wish all those who have entered the 2010 churchie emerging art exhibition every success.”
