Upcoming Exhibitions: Portraits of Queer GV & The Pieces That Made Me
Community Exhibition: Portraits of Queer GV
When? June 25 – 15 July
Portraits of Queer GV (Greater Victoria) is a collection of self-portraits that were created during workshops that took place between November 2025 and January 2026. The locations include Shepparton, Traralgon, Sale, Wodonga, Wangaratta, Woodend, Bendigo, Maryborough and Geelong. The majority of sessions were with established pride youth groups. The workshops, which were led by Moira Shire artist Ruby Wyatt-Carter, prompted participants to consider different aspects of their identity as they were creating their portraits. The portraits were dominantly made using paper collage.
This project was funded by Midsummer’s Regional Arts Program and supported by Goulburn Valley Pride
Personal Exhibition: The Pieces That Made Me
When? 25 June- 20 July
A self portrait contains so much story and soul of the artist that made it. From little pieces of paper that would otherwise be tossed away, Ruby has crafted their personal experiences into a story of pain and resilience, then healing and thriving. Each artwork has been created using cardboard to elevate the main subject of the work, paper collage to create the bulk of the image, then watercolour and posca pens for the finer details.
