For the Love of Art
The Art Happy Celebration of Art Exhibition
12–18 April 2027
Early Access: 10–11 April 2027
What do you love to create?
For the Love of Art is a celebration of the subjects, ideas and styles that make artists want to pick up a brush, pencil or tool and create.
There is no single subject for this exhibition. Landscapes, people, animals, places, abstract work, florals, contemporary art and everything in between are welcome.
We’re looking for original work that reflects what you love about making art — whatever that looks like.
Realistic, expressive, colourful, quiet, bold, traditional or contemporary, this exhibition is about the joy of creating and the art you simply love to make.
