A Successful Opening for Access Arts’ ‘Grow’ Exhibition at KPMG
Despite a stormy evening, the opening of Access Arts’ “Grow” exhibition at KPMG on Wednesday, 9 October 2024, was met with a fantastic turnout. Guests braved the weather and were rewarded with an evening filled with beautiful artwork that reflected the vibrant, plant filled environment of the KPMG Brisbane office space.
The event was officially opened by Isabel Stankiewicz, a past winner of the Access Arts Achievement Award, who delivered a heartfelt and impactful speech. Reflecting on her own artistic journey, Isabel highlighted the importance of advocacy for access and inclusion in the arts. Her words resonated with the audience and set the tone for the evening, celebrating the creativity and highlighting the importance of supporting artists with disability.
The exhibition’s collection brought together unique interpretations of the theme ‘Grow,’ which explored human connections with nature, plants, and animals. This shared focus created a powerful and united presentation, with artist’s offering a fresh perspective on growth and transformation.

On the night, each artist had the opportunity to speak about their works, offering guests personal insights into the creative process and the stories behind each piece. This unique interaction allowed a deeper connection between the artworks and potential buyers, making the experience more meaningful and immersive for all involved.
Adding to the exhibitions’ magic was the innovative use of digital displays, including a striking dome ceiling feature that showcased the artworks in a stunning, new light.
Feedback from KPMG following the event has been overwhelmingly positive, and interest in the exhibition continues to grow.
It was a remarkable evening, filled with warmth, support, and genuine interest in the incredible artworks on display. This year's exhibition, 'Grow,' brought the artists together in such a cohesive and powerful way, showcasing the evolution and depth of their work. The feedback from KPMG has been fantastic, and I’m thrilled that the interest in these artworks continues to grow, making this one of our most successful exhibitions to date.
