This annual exhibition celebrates the talent and creativity of Leighton Art Centre's member artists, with each member eligible to submit 3 pieces for consideration. After receiving submissions from 160 artists, the 2023 jury panel has selected 56 works from 40 artists, exploring a wide range of themes and media including ceramics, paintings, wearables and textiles.

Attend the in-person Opening Reception for our 21st Annual Juried Members Exhibition and Michelle Atkinson’s site-specific indoor installation Human Sprawl on April 1, 2023, between 1 and 4 pm. Remarks will be held at 2 pm.

Human Sprawl explores humanity’s tendency to live in excess with personal consumption impacting biodiversity. Born from waste, the animal sculptures were created from thick kiln-cast slabs of broken window glass destined for the landfill and the plant sculptures are made with donated bottle glass.

The animals in this site-specific installation represent what we’ve lost and are all classified as threatened or endangered by the Government to both drive home our impact but also act as an educational opportunity.
