Our Fantastic Fourth CommunARTy exhibition - Beyond the Frame

27 artists showcased their skilful creations in our

2025 exhibition, 'Beyond the Frame'.

Working in a wide range of media, from acrylics to collage, ceramics to printmaking, our talented artists wowed audiences again.

Our opening event was a joy-filled treat, with many members of our diverse communities coming together to celebrate with our artists and the power of art for creators and audiences alike.

" Fabulous works and outstanding talent

by so many artists "

" It is inspiring, beautiful, creative, skilful and heartwarming "

" It was a wonderfully eclectic exhibition!

Full of evocative and beautiful pieces "

In our Auslan-interpreted documentary film, our artists considered all the ways their creative practices led to lives lived 'Beyond the Frame'.

Take a look!

The artists shared a brilliant day at our Gallery Workshop, each developing a mixed-media work that truly lived 'Beyond the Frame'.

" So wonderful to see how far everyone has come! "

" Love it! So good. Look forward to it every year "

See you in 2026!
