COUNIHAN Beacon

Beacon presented by Arts Access Victoria

6 Aug 2025 – 26 Oct 2025

Exploring the concepts of disability, identity, safety, and communication through light and colour – the works are a response to the idea of a beacon. Creating new ways of relating to the way light acts as a warning, signal, or celebration.

Enter Beacon, a space to reflect and connect on what it means to be human featuring works by artists from Artstop, a visual arts studio based in Brunswick where 17 artists meet to connect and develop their practice.

This exhibition is presented by Arts Access Victoria, who are supported by Creative Australia and the Victorian Government.
