"The Art BBQ" This summer, we’re bringing the “BBQ” into the gallery. Let’s gather, remember, and celebrate the connections that make us who we are.

Chip In invites artists to submit work for “The Art BBQ”, a summer-inspired group exhibition that celebrates community, connections, the joy of gathering, through an installation that celebrates up and coming artist.

This exhibition transforms a familiar summer moment, a picnic in the park, a backyard BBQ, an evening with friends into a gallery experience that centres around belonging, connection, and shared experiences.

It’s a space for stories told through art. This exhibition seeks to bring together a collective of artists for a summer show celebrating new talent and connecting with artists.

We’re seeking artworks that evoke the spirit of togetherness and provoke memories of connection. This up to interpretation. All mediums welcome
