The Collective brings together eight artists united by a shared passion for painting. Some have been exhibiting for years, while for others this marks their very first public showing. Regardless of experience, it’s always a brave step to reveal one’s work to the world.

This exhibition is an eruption of colour and creativity — from flowers in vases and exotic cacti, to jacarandas and poincianas blooming in Brisbane streets,
animals, and interior scenes. Each artist has expressed their vision with freshness and individuality.

The Collective celebrates both discovery and growth — a vibrant showcase of artists finding their voices and sharing them with us all.
