Adderton Everywhere

Adderton: house & heart of mercy is being taken outside with innovative and meaningful exhibitions, workshops, installations and events in surprising public spaces. Adderton Everywhere is a continuation of Adderton’s activation of community exploration and engagement in contemporary social justice and mercy through art and ideas.

Adderton Everywhere is free and aims to be inclusive and accessible with locations frequently visited close to essential services in public spaces all over Brisbane.

Adderton is currently temporarily closed to visitors, as of 18 March 2020, during this time of social distancing due to COVID-19. We look forward to welcoming visitors back to Adderton in due course. In the meantime, for details of where and when Adderton exhibitions and workshops will be popping up near you, register for Adderton’s e-news and follow @addertonbrisbane on Instagram and Facebook.
