NT Veterans Art Exhibition 2026
I have been accepted to host a exhibition for Veterans and their families to come together to showcase their experiences through art in many mediums.
I currently have a variety of Veterans and the family members that are interested in join part of this exhibition, but I still need more. Several who have expressed interest are already members and have exhibited previously at DVAA (Darwin Visual Arts Association) in either members shows or their own exhibitions. But if you're not a member of DVAA I will cover your membership so that you can take part in the exhibition.
I am inviting Veterans who do any medium including painting, drawing, sculpture and photography. I am looking to curate it in a way that showcases the entire journey of Veterans and their families through their service and beyond.
I have put four general theme's below for people to submit peices for. If people want to submit multiple pieces covering the different theme's that would be amazing.
Exhibition Details:
Where: Darwin Visual Arts Association, Harbour View Plaza
When: October 2026
Who Can Exhibit: Veterans or Family Members of Veterans
Funding: I am applying for grant funding that will cover the venue hire, catering, members fees and some materials. We will also look at hosting some workshops in partnership with other Veterans organisations during the exhibition.
