Regional Spotlight 2026

Next date: Wednesday, 02 September 2026 | 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM

Regional Spotlight 2026 is a survey of work by local artist’s reflecting on time, change, culture, identity, and the beauty hidden in the everyday.

Through textiles, sculpture, drawing, painting and photography, artists in this year’s exhibition push the limits.

Since 2024, the program has showcased local artists’ work in a group exhibition curated from an open call, providing a glimpse into the diversity of creative practices in the region—often spanning painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics and more.

Regional Spotlight offers professional development and opens new creative pathways for exhibiting artists through profiling, public programming and display.

Regional Spotlight 2026 artists are: Joie Boulter, Emma Brown, Larissa Dabrowski, Karee Dahl, Paul Giudice, Darren Harrold, Simone Haupt, Lilian Horvath and Aurora Pearce.
