Why 50:50? Well for every artwork sold during the show, 50% will be donated to DVA's Creative Partnerships Australia Plus1 fundraising campaign; which in turn will DOUBLE with the Plus1 matched funding.
All donations received from artwork sales will contribute to the following:
- maintaining and managing your local artist run initiative
- an emerging artist residency in 2021
- a stronger visual arts community
- facilitating new artist projects through DVA
Works for the 50:50 DVA Member Show are due WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25 by COB (5pm ACST).

This exhibition reflects the ‘Revitalisation’ of ‘Femininity’ and ‘Cultural Resilience’.
These pieces capture the spirit and rebellion of the world’s most unforgettable musicians.
Inspired by the unpredictable nature and vivid colours of Darwin’s wet season
Discover the bold, imaginative world of Darwin’s own trailblazing publisher Wild North Comics.
Explore the nature of local lifestyles with intent to
capture funky fashions and everyday living in Darwin.
The artworks displayed will depict the fun, enigmatic and colourful existence of
tropical Darwin during the day, and the busy, energetic nightlife around its local
haunts.
Step into the vibrant world of the Australian Top End with Colours of Home, an exhibition of predominantly pastel paintings that capture the striking beauty of the local landscape.
‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach. Artworks reflect each artist’s personal connection to chosen plants. Accompanying stories and video communicate cultural knowledge.
The viewer is exposed to obscurities of the universe including artwork, ‘Solar Flare’ depicting a solar explosion also, ‘Meteor Shower’ and ‘Supernova’. Energy and passion are radiating from the paintings, highlighting intensity. In contrast, ‘The Wormhole’ and ‘Galaxy’s Breath’ depict the timelessness and constancy of galaxies and the beyond.
Have you ever spent so long not talking to other people that when you finally did, your voice cracked? Have you ever been somewhere so remote that if you died, no-one would know and you might not be found for weeks - if ever?
