Jump Left announces the launch of its inaugural open call exhibition, MULTIPLICITY, opening 2-4pm Saturday 6 December 2025 at Jump Left in Naarm (Melbourne).

Supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, this project was open to self-taught artists, neurodivergent artists, artists with intellectual disability, and artists with disability living in Australia, this exhibition creates a platform to showcase work in a group show focusing on small-to-medium sized artworks.

Join us Thursday 14 August for a self-directed making session in the gallery - an opportunity to slow down, connect in person, and create together.

Step away from the rush and into a space where creativity flows naturally. Bring your own materials or work with what's available as you craft, sketch, write, or simply be present with art. This is your invitation to pause, make something with your hands, and connect with fellow creators in an unhurried, supportive environment.

+ Free and accessible event

Join us Thursday 7 August 2025 for an informal in-conversation over a light lunch with artists, studios, and exhibition curator Sim Luttin.

Regional supported studios provide vital, often more flexible environments for disabled and neurodivergent artists, enabling sustained practice and professional pathways within their community. Bringing this work to city centres challenges assumptions about where significant artistic innovation happens, revealing the depth and strength of regional creative communities.

We are thrilled to invite you to our inaugural exhibition opening celebration for CONVERGENCE: Regional Perspectives, Saturday 26 July, from 2-4pm.

This diverse exhibition brings together distinctive artistic voices from regional supported studios in Victoria and Albury-Wodonga.

CONVERGENCE challenges metropolitan-centric narratives by platforming creators whose geographical distance from cultural centres limits broader arts connections and opportunities. The exhibition features work by seven emerging and mid-career artists whose differing perspectives offer fresh insights into contemporary themes and regional experiences.

Artists featured include Helen Butcher and Jessica Madden (ArtGusto), Stella Childs (The Art Factory Albury), Housecat (Find Your Voice Collective), Stephen Hancock and Alex McKenzie (Artmania), and George Macaronis (Studio 92).

Join us Saturday 26 July from 1-2pm for an informal artist talk ahead of the CONVERGENCE exhibition launch event.

Exhibition artists will be in conversation with the curator and regional supported studio staff.

This discussion will give audiences special insights into the artworks, artists' processes, and the studios that support them.

Free and open to all.
