New Light presents a dynamic collection of new work from established and emerging artists, ushering in the year with energy, optimism and renewed perspective. Spanning painting, photography, works on paper and mixed media, the exhibition offers a preview of what’s to come across the 2026 program.
Bringing together artists audiences know and admire, alongside new additions to the gallery stable, New Light highlights the diversity of contemporary Australian practice. From luminous landscapes and intricate figurative works to conceptual and material-driven approaches, the exhibition reflects the breadth of ideas shaping the current arts landscape.
Presented across both Lethbridge Gallery and Latrobe Art Space, this group exhibition invites viewers to experience a vibrant start to the year — where light becomes both subject and metaphor for renewal, clarity and possibility.
