A mainstay on the Brisbane art scene and feature of Queensland Mental Health Week, the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition provides a powerful platform for artists with lived mental health experience to showcase and sell their artwork. In 2023, the event was a resounding success! Showcasing 271 artworks by 169 artists, the exhibition attracted over 13,250 visitors and achieved over $77,000 in artwork sales, the highest in its 32-year history.
With artwork submissions now closed and curation underway, we have had over 400 works from over 250 artists with lived mental health experience put forward their works for consideration.
