50 Years of Collecting

12 February to 4 April 2025

This survey of the University’s Art Collection has been compiled in celebration of Deakin University’s 50 year anniversary, taking audiences on a journey through our 50 years of collecting. Pieces are displayed marking significant milestones alongside new acquisitions, allowing visitors to explore not only the collection's origins, but also its ongoing development and reflect on the shifting trends in contemporary Australian art.

Opportunity to showcase your artwork

While the exhibition is on display, current Deakin staff, students and alumni are invited to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to create a work of art for inclusion in our final exhibition for the year Face to Face Revisited in October.

EOIs close on Friday 11 April and can be submitted by completing the EOI form. Terms and Conditions apply.

For more information, see the Deakin University Art Gallery webpage.
