Darwin Community Arts is a community association dedicated to grassroots arts development in the Darwin Region of the Northern Territory of Australia. In 2024, it will continue its distributed and decentralised approaches and transition to a non-hierarchical and self-managed organisational system.
It began as Brown’s Mart Community Arts in the 1970s and reinvented itself as a neighbourhood-based arts organisation in 2007. It changed its name from Brown’s Mart Community Arts to Darwin Community Arts and relocated from Brown’s Mart in Darwin City to Malak in 2008.
After more than 10 years in Malak, learning about and innovating neighbourhood-based Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) strategies, DCA distributed and decentralised its spaces and activities to Coconut Grove, Bagot Community, and Darwin Rural Area in 2018.
DCA Member’s Exhibition 2025
This March we are offering our members the chance to exhibit in our fifth member’s exhibition.
This year’s theme is A BIT WEIRD, A BIT REBELLIOUS
Weird is a relative term. This exhibition theme calls out to our ‘weird and wonderful’ community. Artists are asked to celebrate and put at the forefront everything that inspires us in our internal and external worlds, from the depths of the ocean to the endlessness of space, embrace our neurodivergence and push back against societal expectations. Agitate and rebel against that which holds us back, seeks to repress or restrict. Join us in getting your weird on!
