Var Collective
EXHIBITIONS

Every year, Var Gallery proudly presents its Collective Exhibition—a curated showcase celebrating the diverse talents of our selected artist residents. Spanning a myriad of mediums, from paintings to multimedia installations, our exhibitions touch upon a wide array of themes: from identity and community to the wonders of nature, the complexities of societal discourse, myth-making, and beyond. Embracing both emerging voices and established talents, our annual exhibitions aim to inspire, challenge, and engage.
