Pop-Up Exhibitions

Energise your space with a custom-curated exhibition of artworks by artists from The Torch. Whether you have a specific theme in mind or are open to creative exploration, we can deliver a thoughtfully curated display that aligns with your vision.

Our team can respond to a creative brief or independently develop an exhibition that reflects cultural insight, powerful storytelling, and artistic excellence. These pop-ups are ideal for workplaces, galleries, and public spaces, offering a meaningful and impactful way to connect with contemporary First Nations voices. Let us transform your space and spark conversation through compelling artworks that inspire, educate, and engage.

Activations – Artwork Leasing

Artwork Leasing

The Torch offers a comprehensive artwork leasing service, providing organisations with the opportunity to support First Nations artists while enriching their spaces with powerful, contemporary works. Leasing periods are available from six to twelve months, allowing flexibility to suit a range of needs. This initiative ensures that 100% of the lease fee goes directly to the artist, fostering economic empowerment and creative development. With an extensive catalogue of artworks across diverse style, clients can select pieces that resonate with their values and aesthetics. Importantly, artwork leasing is a tax-deductible expense for organisations, making it both a culturally and financially meaningful investment.

Activations - Speaking Engagements

Speaking Engagements

Hear directly from artists with lived experience of the legal system. Our Speaking Engagements and Storytelling Experiences, held at your organisation or in our gallery, share moving personal stories, the healing power of art, and the role of cultural reconnection in rehabilitation as well as a brief introduction about The Torch.

Weaving Workshops

Immerse your team in a powerful, hands-on experience led by an artist from The Torch, sharing the rich tradition of weaving. These engaging sessions go far beyond technique, they’re a unique opportunity for cultural exchange, deep reflection, and creative connection. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of First Nations identity and the strength of cultural revival, all while creating their own woven piece to take home. Fun, inspiring, and deeply meaningful, this is a memorable way to bring your team together and support Aboriginal culture in action.
