COLLECT is The Lock-Up’s annual fundraising exhibition, showcasing over a hundred emerging, mid-career and established artists from Newcastle and the Hunter, as well as The Lock-Up’s broader artistic program.

Curated by Early Career Curator Ella Grace Paterson, COLLECT celebrates and platforms our diverse and vibrant creative community and is proud to showcase early career through to established artists alongside our diverse and highly regarded artistic program. COLLECT is about connecting the community and expanding our creative ecosystem, connecting artists with COLLECT-ors big and small. This year, as always, we expect to host an inspiring line-up of many disciplines and encourage both established and emerging artists to apply.
