Proof
2025 Umbrella Members' Exhibition
Umbrella’s annual exhibition for its artist members is back with a new theme for 2025. Artists have creatively responded to ‘proof’ and associations with that term which most resonate with them. They have been inspired by mathematics, dough rising, printmaking, evidence, law, and the current proliferation of ‘fake news’.
The full dates and details for entering the exhibition can be found here.
The 2025 exhibition features the following prizes:
$1,000 Art Prize
Generously sponsored by Bamford Community Care
Light Through a Lens Photomedia Prize
