BEYOND HUMAN ART EXHIBITION
Supporting the Beyond Recognition Awards Fundraising Event
2027
In 2027 our next fundraising event will be our inaugural charity awards event like no other.
Once again we will be utilising art for good...hosting a 4-week digital exhibition of pieces donated to the charity capturing messages of hope, connection and what it is to be human. A powerful exhibition fundraising to continue providing support to people healing from the emotional impact health events.

Apply now!
Our charity does things a little bit differently...we want to maximise impact and awareness sharing real stories and using art to capture these messages of hope in a unique way.
The award ceremony will recognise the powerful stories of human connection and recognise the impact of healthcare professionals.
Through the event we will be hosting an online exhibition and auctioning the artworks donated to fundraise for our invaluable support services.
Artworks inspired by the theme of hope, human connection and what it is to be human. A powerful diverse collection to use art for change.
We are looking for artists to donate an artwork inspired by these themes to be part of our next campaign.
A digital exhibition means we can accept a lot more pieces, reduces the cost to organise - meaning more fundraising goes directly to the support needed.
Digital exhibitions are brilliant online virtual spaces that you walk through just like a real gallery. You can go up to individual pieces and read about the artist.
We are inviting artists to donate the pieces to the charity so that 100% of the auction/sale of the pieces is donated to the charity.
We have exciting plans to use some of these pieces for prints and gifts for the charity. So more people can appreciate the art in many different ways.
A collection of prints representing the collection will be on display at the awards event so people attending can see with directions to bid in the auction.
