The University Galleries at Callaghan are pleased to partner with Newcastle Art Space to present their 2026 Mentorship Exhibition SYNERGY.
Curated by Melody Suranyi (mentee) and Jo O'Toole (mentor) the theme and title of this year’s Newcastle Art Space Mentorship Exhibition - Synergy - is a celebration of the transformative power of creative connection. Derived from the Greek word synergos, meaning “working together,” synergy reflects the idea that when people combine their talents, ideas and experiences, they can achieve far more together than they could alone.
Collaboration has been at the heart of this year’s mentorship journey, bringing creatives together through shared learning, support and creative exchange. Together, we joined the program with a desire to learn, share knowledge, and grow while inspiring one another.
The exhibition Synergy reflects the connections, conversations and discoveries made along the way. Emerging from this collaborative experience is an exhibition filled with energy, creativity and passion.
