On October 17th, 2025, our Brisbane studio once again transformed into a vibrant gallery for the annual GB-Art Show. This much-anticipated event brought together over 150 clients, consultants, friends, family, and community members for an evening of creativity, connection, and generosity, all in support of Hear and Say on their Loud Shirt Day.
A NIGHT OF ART AND COMMUNITY
The GB-Art Show has become a cherished tradition, and this year was no exception. Our studio buzzed with energy as attendees explored an incredible array of artwork, from pottery and jewellery to hand sketches and paintings. The event showcased the talents of local artists, members of the GB-A team, and even family members, creating a unique blend of professional and personal creativity.
But the evening wasn’t just about admiring art—it was about making a difference. With $2,720 worth of art sold and $700 in commissions donated, the art community’s generosity shone brightly.

SUPPORTING HEAR AND SAY
The GB-Art Show is proudly held each year on Loud Shirt Day, Hear and Say’s biggest fundraising event. This incredible organisation provides life-changing services like speech pathology, audiology, and cochlear implants to children and adults with hearing loss.
Thanks to the combined efforts of our attendees, artists, and sponsors, we raised over $3,600 for Hear and Say this year. It’s a privilege to contribute to their mission and help make a difference in the lives of so many.
A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR TEAM
None of this would be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of the GB-A team. From planning and setup to running the event on the night, our team members generously donated their time and energy to make the Art Show a success. We’re especially grateful given that the event fell on one of our Fridays off due to our 9-day fortnight!
LOOKING AHEAD
The 2025 GB-Art Show was a night to remember filled with art, community spirit, and the joy of giving back. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event and can’t wait to see how we can continue to grow this tradition and support such an impactful cause.
Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and supported this year’s show. Together, we’ve made a difference, and we can’t wait to do it all again in 2026!
