The Empty Canvas is a living exhibition where the artwork is created by the people who visit it. Beginning with a gallery of blank canvases, every visitor is invited to add a mark, a word, a colour, or a story, transforming the space into a collaborative artwork that reflects the creativity and diversity of our community. Through shared making, conversation, workshops, and connection, the exhibition celebrates the simple idea that art is something we create together—not something we simply observe.

Come and create with us! All canvasses will be gifted to different community groups on the Gold Coast after the exhibit.

FREE to join! Materials will be provided.

Artists and creatives are invited to bring the gallery to life—share your practice, create with the community, inspire participation and help shape artworks that will be gifted back to the Gold Coast community. Interested? Fill in the EOI form.
