Venue: Tanks Arts Centre

Launch: 5:30pm, Fri 12 Dec – all welcome
Exhibition: 12 Dec 2025 – 18 Jan 2026

Whatever is going on at ARC, Darren is up for it. Darren Smith attends ARC Disability Services for most of his week, where he participates in a variety of programs such as drama, choir, cooking, story writing, and the paint and draw programs.

He has many talents including writing and illustrating his own published book, acting in an upcoming ARC production, developing his play into an ARC drama performance, performing in the ARC choir, creating an animation of his play and now his own solo exhibition.

For this exhibition, Darren has painted artworks that depicts all that he sees in his life attending ARC.

When Darren was asked what his favourite thing about ARC is – he said the friends he has made and the support workers that encouraged him. Darren then said he is looking for more projects to do and be a part of.
