Art. Expression. Recovery. Every piece tells a story.
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.
“I found this exhibition very relatable to the challenges I’ve faced, which makes me feel a little lighter and reinforces the importance of art in life.”
“I loved the way mental health and well-being was portrayed in the paintings. It makes me think about my dark times and how I overcame them. And it made me realise how far I have come.”
“I just happened to see the exhibition in King George Square and decided to have a look. I’m glad I did. Many of the artworks were amazing and really made me think and have a genuine response, which is something I have never really experienced before.”
