MARS is delighted to present our group exhibition Polaroid Polaroid Polaroid. This exhibition aims to raise funds for Living Positive Australia (LPV) by bringing together a snapshot of the MARS community, open to all to take part, including artists, arts workers, and art enthusiasts.
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s love of capturing the everyday with a Polaroid camera, this exhibition engages with the MARS community to utilise the Polaroid as a medium and object open to personal interpretation.
Polaroids will be priced depending on what you can afford, with MARS donating their commission. Works are sold first in best dressed, so give generously for good art karma! All sales will help the important work at Living Positive Victoria.
Living Positive Victoria is a not for profit, community-based organisation representing all people living with HIV in Victoria since 1988 and is committed to the advancement of human rights and wellbeing of all people living with HIV. In response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, Living Positive Victoria was created as a safe place to provide support and advocate those living with virus.
Exhibition donations will directly support people living with HIV, as well as fund programs to help them connect with the community. The community sector lost 25-30% of its funding because of Victoria’s “COVID overspend”.
