Open Call: Orbit Art Space – ‘Passage: A Journey of Life’ Group Exhibition

Orbit Art Space invites emerging and mid-career artists based in Melbourne/Naarm to participate in our inaugural group exhibition, ‘Passage: A Journey of Life’, at SOL Gallery (420 Brunswick St, Fitzroy 3065).

Passage: A Journey of Life explores the transitions, transformations, and pivotal moments that define the human experience. From physical migrations to emotional and psychological evolutions, this exhibition invites artists to reflect on the passage of time, identity, and personal or collective journeys. Whether through movement, memory, loss, or rebirth, ‘Passage’ seeks to capture the beauty and complexity of change—those fleeting moments that shape who we are and where we are going. This exhibition is a space for storytelling, contemplation, and connection, offering a visual narrative of life’s inevitable flux.
