THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for their generous support, which helps bring this event to life and strengthen our community.
PROUDLY HOSTED BY
Richmond Fellowship Queensland (RFQ) are proud to host the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition. Our vision is a future recovered for people facing mental health challenges and social disadvantage.
We support people in recovery.
We inspire hope and empower people.
"We are our own biggest critics and I think being able to put it (the art) up there and see the reactions from people shows us that 'oh, I'm actually better than I think I am.'"
"I just happened to see the exhibition and decided to have a look but I'm really 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 particularly experienced before."
"I love the way mental health well-being is portrayed in most of the paintings. It makes me think about my dark times and how I overcome them. And it made me realise how far I have come."
CREATIVE CONNECTIONS
Established. Emerging. Working it out.
We are proud to showcase works from artists who are at varying stages of their career and play a small part of their story - both in life and in art. Creative connections and stories are formed through participation in the exhibition and we are privileged to be able to share the stories of exhibiting and previous artists.
STORY HUB
Duane
For proud Jiman man Duane, art has never existed as just a way of creating; it’s been a bridge to healing and a medium for expressing connections with family, culture, country and community.
Alison | et al Gallery & Studio
Alison has built something more than a place to display art - the gallery has become a learning hub and a community where artists can find their voice and improve their practice.
Ally Douglas | RAAD
“I connected with the meaning behind what the exhibition aims to promote, which is so important these days and so prevalent, especially today with everything that’s going on. I don’t usually do exhibitions, but I think this one just really appealed to me because of the meaning behind it.”
