Venue: Tanks Arts Centre

Fri 28 Feb 2025 - Sun 30 Mar 2025
LAUNCH: 6pm, Friday 28 February – all welcome.

FLAME 2025 is the exhibition outcome of the FLAME Visual program, providing young artists the opportunity and skills to explore their arts practice and maintain a creative life.

For nine years now the FLAME Visual mentorship program has been supporting young creatives to continue an arts practice after leaving school, providing opportunities to meet and work with other creatives in the region and to engage with the local arts sector, culminating in a group exhibition.

This year, the program supported young creative emerging artists by enabling skills development and encouraging them towards a wholistic ‘creative life’ approach. Tanks Arts Centre connected young creatives with four established artists acting as creative mediators, delivering peer-to-peer learning opportunities over a three-month period, working together towards this exhibition.

Inspired, under the guidance of artists; Jamie Cole, Daniel Wallwork, Holly Mervyn-Jones and Olivia Azzopardi the young artists learned new skills, demonstrably building their confidence in their creative abilities and artistic expressions.

The FLAME Visual project is made possible thanks to the ongoing support and generous donation by Paul Matthews.

Cost: Free
Venue Opens: Mon-Fri 9.00am - 4.30pm, Sat-Sun 10.00am - 2.00pm
