The Queensland Academy of Arts and Sciences (QAAS) is a multidisciplinary organisation that has been founded to foster and promote activities, research and innovative practices that cross the arts and sciences within Queensland. It is the only Academy of its kind in Australia.

Officially launched in 2000, QAAS has played host to a range of inspiring events with the aim of promoting the arts and sciences and the diverse ways in which they interact, including symposiums and discussion evenings with high-profile, expert speakers from the arts and sciences fields.

The next event planned will be on 11th February 2010. Amanda Pagliarino will present a lecture at the Galllery of Modern Art related to installations by artists at 6th Asia PAcific Trienium at 5.30pm on Thursday 11 February.
