A Message To Our Members

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in line with the advice from Australia’s government and public health officials, the Darwin Visual Arts Association has closed our Harbour View Plaza gallery space for the foreseeable future.
 
Unfortunately, this means the DVA Exhibition Program for 2020 will no longer take place within our physical gallery space, as originally planned.

Instead, DVA proposes to ‘migrate’ all of our artists’ exhibitions into the online space, and exhibit virtually.
 
As soon as it is possible, of course, we will reopen the DVA Gallery.
 
We understand that this news may come as yet another blow to you, our amazing artists, who are no doubt already being affected by the postponement or cancellation of events, closure of public spaces and wide-spread loss of income being experienced by the Top End art community.
 
The DVA staff and Board members are working hard to find a solution so that we may continue to support you and the visual arts community throughout this trying period. We understand the need for additional support from your artist-run-initiative during this uncertain time and look forward to diversifying our offerings for you, our members.

Any feedback, suggestions and ideas are most welcome, please email us or call the gallery to discuss any thoughts you might have.

We look forward to stepping into the realm of online exhibitions to continue to provide a platform to showcase the amazing artistic talent of the Top End.

Please look after yourselves and each other as we navigate this strange new world, and stay connected to us through phone calls, emails and social media.
 
Everyone at DVA hopes to be able to see you all, face-to-face, soon.
