Sponsoring Art from the Margins 2010

It is with great pleasure that we proudly sponsor Art from the Margins 2010 as part of the annual Brisbane Festival. AFTM2010 (Art from the Margins) is a part of Wesley Mission Brisbane; it gives disadvantaged artists the chance to display their magnificent work to the public of Brisbane in a forum style exhibition running for two weeks in three locations.

“Art from the Margins has grown from a conversation at an early morning coffee brigade for the homeless to an annual event with the Brisbane Festival.” – Wesley Mission Brisbane

Fulton Trotter Architects has supported Art from the Margins since their inception in 2007. It is a wonderful event, providing exposure and a mouth piece for the hidden talents of the disadvantaged.

“A touchingly honest exhibition of a collection of artworks by some of the 9000 people living on the streets or in isolation in Queensland” – Brisbane Times

Featured art pieces include paintings, photographs, etchings, sculpture, and other art forms.
