Defending the Arts: Contemporary works by members of the Australian Defence Force

This mixed media exhibition showcases the visual and performing arts practices of current serving ADF members. The exhibition offers insight into the experience of military service and an alternate narrative to stereotypical representations of Australian military life. What do you know about military people?

Defending the Arts is produced by the ADF Creative Arts Association which promotes artistic endeavour, collaboration and expression in its members. Artistic expression is important for developing creative and conceptual thinking styles and intuitive judgement. We believe the ability for people to process emotions and stress is supported through creative activities as they provide an outlet for processing and expressing feelings, critical to knowing your self.
