Our Stories: Refugee Leadership Exhibition 2026

Join us to celebrate Refugee Week 2026! This year, leaders and artists from JRS Australia's Refugee Leadership Program will be exhibiting artwork and stories on the Refugee Week theme ‘A Million Stories'.  

Since 1947, Australia has granted one million permanent humanitarian visas. Behind each journey is a person with a story: someone who left everything behind to find safety, who showed incredible strength, and who has helped build the Australia we know today. We invite you to join us in celebrating a collection of these stories through art, music and storytelling on the night.  

We're asking those who are able to, to contribute $10 to cover the costs of hosting. We will also have a silent auction on the night with lots of exciting prizes up for grabs! Light refreshments will be provided. 

We hope to see you there with your family and friends! Everyone is welcome at this event.
