FLAME 2026 – Future 150
2026 FLAME Visual Program Exhibition
Launch: 5:30pm, Fri 27 Feb – all welcome
Exhibition: 27 Feb - 29 Mar 2026
FLAME 2026 – Future 150 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.
Now in its tenth year, the FLAME Visual program continues its mission to empower the next generation of artists. Designed to build confidence, spark curiosity and nurture long‑term creative practice, the program supports young people to develop skills, insights and experiences that will carry well beyond their school years.
Tanks Arts Centre fostered a holistic ‘creative life’ approach, connecting participants with four established artists; Holly Mervyn‑Jones, Jamie Cole, Maharlina Gorospe‑Lockie and Mum’a Nai, who acted as creative mediators and mentors. Over three months, through hands‑on learning, experimentation and peer‑to‑peer collaboration, young artists expanded their technical abilities and deepened their artistic expression, working collectively toward this exhibition.
In honour of the 150‑year anniversary of Cairns, this year’s cohort responded to the theme Future 150. Their works explore the intersections of past, present and imagined futures, offering bold, personal and forward‑looking perspectives from the region’s emerging voices.
The FLAME Visual project is proudly supported by the generosity of benefactor Paul Matthews, whose ongoing commitment makes this program possible.
