About this place
What to expect
The Torch Gallery is a First Peoples-led not-for-profit arts organisation based in Carlton, Victoria. They support a First Peoples community of artists to break the cycle of incarceration by strengthening cultural connection and knowledge through arts practice. Individual healing and self-determination are fostered by nurturing empowerment, economic elevation and a sense of purpose. The Torch mentors First Peoples artists with lived experience of incarceration to reconnect with culture and earn income from art sales with 100% of the artwork price going directly to the artist, licensing, Cultural Activations, and exhibitions including their major annual exhibitions Confined and Future Dreaming. Come along to explore an inspiring collection of paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and our range of products. Discover new artists, immerse yourself in creativity, and let art spark your imagination. By purchasing an artwork from an artists at The Torch, you are directly supporting their economic empowerment and cultural practice, validating their story and contributing to their journey of healing. The Torch does not take a commission which means 100% of the artwork price goes directly to First Peoples artists. Visit The Torch Gallery today.
