The Icons exhibition is a vibrant showcase by Equity Makers, celebrating the creativity and vision of thirty Sunshine Coast artists living with disability.
This collection invites audiences to experience the region’s unique atmosphere, culture, and spirit through deeply personal and diverse perspectives. Each artwork explores iconic places, memories, people, objects, and concepts – revealing interpretations that are as distinctive, authentic and inspiring.
More than an exhibition, Icons is a platform for inclusion and representation. It amplifies voices that are often unheard, creating a space where artists with disability can share their stories, identity, and talent with the wider community.
Join us for a showcase that redefines what iconic means – through art that is as diverse and extraordinary as the people who create it.
Icons is an indoor exhibition presented by Equity Makers, showcasing work by thirty Sunshine Coast artists living with disability. The exhibition is suitable for all ages and abilities. Visitors can expect a diverse collection of artworks exploring iconic local places, people and stories through personal and creative perspectives. Seating is available throughout the space, and attendees are welcome to view the exhibition at their own pace.
