This exhibition celebrates the gratitude we carry for the gift of creativity, and the ways it sustains, uplifts, and helps us make sense of our world. It features artworks by local emerging artists who participate in the Group Programs run by Neami National, a community mental health service supporting people to achieve mental and physical wellbeing, and pursue a life guided by their strengths, values, and goals as they engage in their individual recovery.
The works express hope, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the quiet power of art. Each piece is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to transform emotion into colour, form and story, reminding us that even when words cannot capture what we feel, art can.
Artworks will be available for purchase.


While the views presented by speakers within The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre public program are their own and are not necessarily those of either the University of South Australia, or The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, they are presented in the interest of open debate and discussion in the community and reflect our themes of: Strengthening our Democracy - Valuing our Diversity - Building our Future. The Hawke Centre reserves the right to change their program at any time without notice.
