Eye to Eye is Fresh Eye Gallery’s signature exhibition. Now in its twelfth year, Eye to Eye offers a unique opportunity to bring artists together from disparate disciplines, communities and abilities. Artists represented by Fresh Eye Arts (a progressive art studio supporting artists with disabilities) and the wider community are paired to create original collaborative work over a period of three months. At the end of the collaboration period, the work is displayed in an exhibition at Fresh Eye Gallery.
Our vision for Eye to Eye remains focused on fostering individual connections: artists are encouraged to explore organic, personal collaboration methods based on the creative common ground they find with their partner. In 2026, we were pleased to support partnerships in a wide variety of mediums including stained glass, ceramics, illustration, photography, mixed-media installation, and more.
