Now in its 35th year, the exhibition showcases the talents and stories of artists with lived experience of mental health challenges and their extended networks, while sparking meaningful conversations.

On show in Brisbane’s bustling King George Square, the exhibition attracts thousands of visitors and allows artists to sell their works in a professional, curated gallery setting.

The Recovered Futures Art Exhibition will be held from 9 to 14 October 2026.
