Soul Inspired Art Exhibition enters its 5th year

Themed ‘Life as We See It’, the Soul Inspired Art Exhibition 2026 is a vibrant community event entering its 5th year. This annual exhibition was driven by an idea to give home-grown, established or first-time artists, who used art as a means of healing during the 2020 lockdown a platform to exhibit their work. Since 2022, Soul Inspired Exhibition has brought joy to visitors who have come to celebrate the courage of our artists.

The displays are eclectic as we welcome all genres of art, from painting, drawing, digital formats, photography, pottery and sculpture to name a few. It’s a feast for the senses and this opportunity to support artists and have an original work to display in your home should not be missed.

Exhibition opens from Tue 4 – Thu 20 August

Mon – Fri, 9am to 5pm; Sat – Sun, 10am to 5pm
