Veteran Artist Meet-Up

Join us for a relaxed, inclusive and joyfully creative gathering to close out FOVA26. Hosted by Kat Baldwin, this special edition of the monthly Veteran Artist Meet-Up brings together the Veteran Community to unwind, connect and celebrate everything created, shared and discovered throughout the festival.

This informal event offers space to swap stories, reflect on festival highlights and share works-in-progress or artworks created during FOVA workshops and events. Whatever your creative medium or ADF connection, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to chat, laugh and connect.

Building on the success of the 2025 meet-ups in Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane, this gathering continues the tradition of fostering meaningful connections among Veteran Artists. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the festival, with good company, creative conversation and a shared sense of celebration.

This event is open to the Veteran Community.
