FORM ~ EXHIBITION 10-11/04/26
This exhibition is a showcase of artwork exploring the human figure. We encourage artists of all experience levels to apply, from first-time exhibitors through to more established artists. Applications will be assessed on relevance to the theme and suitability of the artwork. The exhibition will be held at Side Gallery in Red Hill on 10-11 April 2026, the opening night will be on Friday the 10th 6-9pm, and open for further viewing on the 11th between 10:30am-2:30pm, and an ‘Artist Professional Practices’ talk with Side Gallery Curator, Laura Brinin, on the 11th from 1:30-2:30pm.
⟶ The purpose of this show is to bring together local artists for a community-minded exhibition, offering a platform for emerging to established artists alike to exhibit recent artwork surrounding this complex and enduring theme. Curated by Studio Maverik, we look forward to bringing together a diverse group of artists to showcase their work to the public, meet one another and enjoy an opening evening full of art + conversation.
EXHIBITING ARTISTS
ABOUT THE THEME
𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑴 encompasses the human figure, however the artists wish to interpret this. The human form is an enduring theme throughout art history, offered as a vessel to explore themes of humanity, beauty, romance, discomfort, pain, love, sex and everything in between. We encouraged exhibiting artists to explore this in whichever visual medium they desired.
