Why participate in Rights On Show?

Rights On Show provides a forum for artists to exhibit work with a human rights focus.

The exhibition promotes dialogue within the arts sector about human rights and within the community. Become a part of this discussion by participating in RIGHTS ON SHOW 2012.

Art has an important function in our society as a vehicle for social change and expression of collective conscience.

Art allows social ideas to be challenged and highlights the right to freedom of expression the world over.
