Proudly hosted by RFQ

The Recovered Futures Art Exhibition is proudly hosted by Richmond Fellowship Queensland (RFQ), a leading community mental health provider.

A mainstay on the Brisbane art calendar, the curated exhibition raises awareness of mental health recovery and wellbeing.

In 2021, the event is celebrating 30 years of capturing the hearts and minds of Brisbane. This year's instalment was held from 9 to 15 October in Brisbane City Hall and King George Square. Online purchases are now available until Sunday 31 October.

Raising awareness through art

Every exhibiting artist has a lived experience of mental illness, either through their own direct personal experience or in their role as a carer or family member. By viewing the exhibition and purchasing artwork, you are recognising the artists’ work and their stories.
