artX

Close to 400 works of art by experienced and emerging artists are showcased annually at genU artX events. 

Celebrating the diversity of artists within the communities in which genU operates, our artX exhibitions provide an important platform for participating artists to have their work seen by a wide audience which is a big step in the professional development of all artists.

Each year, we run a Regional event which covers Geelong, Warrnambool, Colac and Hamilton and a Metro event that covers Wyndham, Northcote and Bayside. 

Entered works span wide-ranging genres from popular culture and nature to sports and personal stories by artists based in these regions who identify as living with disability or mental illness. 

Prize money for these events is provided by event sponsors and corporate partners, including Prestige Jayco, Provincial Media and Godfrey Hirst.

Our next event is artX Metro 2025 which is running in the Banksia Foyer in the Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre Preston from Tuesday 2 September to Friday 5 September. Winners will be announced at an exclusive event held on Thursday 4 September 2025 

The launch of artX Regional 2025 was held at Rachinger Gallery on Thursday 3 April.
