Brad Rusbridge
Brad Rusbridge holds a Bachelor of Visual Art and Professional Writing from Deakin University (2002) and a Masters of Art Curatorship from the University of Melbourne (2018). He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Victoria and New South Wales since 2013. He was the winner of the M Collection Art Award in 2015 and has been shortlisted for various other awards, such as the Geelong Contemporary Art Prize (2016) and the Bayside Acquisitive Art Prize (2016 and 2019). For various reasons he has not exhibited since 2019, but has maintained a divergent and somewhat ad hoc art practice, producing various bodies of work that are unlikely to see the light of day.
