Exhibition Call Out: Be Part of Voices Through Art
What does hope and healing mean to you?
The Arch partnership are proud to launch the Voices Through Art: Arch Lived Experience Art Campaign.
As part of the 2026 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, the Arch partnership is inviting Tasmanians to share creative works exploring themes of hope, healing, recovery, resilience and change.
Through art, people can express experiences, emotions, and journeys in ways that words alone may not capture.
How to Be Part of the Exhibition
Submissions can be dropped directly to Arch North-West, Arch North or Arch South.
Additionally, participants can email images of their artwork to arch@dpfem.tas.gov.au or through an embedded submission portal which will be set up on the Arch website via www.arch.tas.gov.au/art
We are also in the process of organising drop off points with some Tasmanian local councils volunteering as collection points as Devonport and King Island. Please email us if you require assistance to this effect.
Exhibition Displays
Artworks will be displayed across Arch sites throughout Tasmania, or at a central exhibition location, depending on participation levels and site suitability. The showcase will:
- Celebrate the voices and creativity of contributors.
- Highlight stories of hope, resilience, and healing.
- Foster community connection and understanding.
- Raise awareness of Arch and available support services.
- Demonstrate the role of creative expression in healing and recovery
