Event description

Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic)

This mixed-media event will focus on local emerging artists, whilst also featuring some established names in the art world, such as Liz Payne, Antoinette Ferwerda, Gemma O'Brien and Andrew Rovenko, to name a few.

The theme of the show is “Fearlessly Optimistic” with artists kindly donating never-before-seen artworks created especially for the event. ‘Fearlessly Optimistic’, embodies the unrelenting passion of Barnardos. We never give up and are deeply committed to changing lives by improving the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children and are optimistic about the future of Australian children. The artists and attendees of this exhibition are equally determined and connected to our shared belief in an optimistic future.

In the current world climate, this show will provide some much-needed positivity and joy. The historic Cellblock Theatre at the National Art School will also provide an inspiring backdrop as those hallowed halls, developing so many incredible local artists since 1843.

Carefully curated with artworks to please a range of tastes and price ranges, the show will include sculpture, photography, paint on canvas and prints.

Children have been, and always are at the centre of everything that we do.

At Barnardos, we hope to end child abuse and neglect by supporting families to keep children and young people safe at home. We help children and young people who have experienced trauma, to recover and thrive and where there is a risk of abuse we find safe homes for them through foster care and open adoption.

We connect children, young people and families to the community to ensure they never feel isolated or alone. We give children, young people and families the tools to cope with life’s challenges and improve their wellbeing. We motivate children, young people and their families to embrace learning and education so they can reach their brightest future.

We amplify the voices of young people to influence Government on the issues that affect their lives. We celebrate diversity and encourage children, young people and families to embrace their culture, history and identity.
