Urban Art Binge (UAB) is an Artist-Run-Initiative established in 2012 by Australian artists with the aim of igniting passion for creativity by documenting place through drawing and painting for aspiring and established creatives. 

UAB hosts a series of workshop blocks throughout the year as well as running art expeditions to places like Tasmania.  Inspired by the urban and natural environment, our workshops not only connect, teach and build essential skills around drawing and painting, they are also strengthening the voice of vibrant, creative communities.

We are constantly seeking exciting, creative partnerships and opportunities. 

Please contact us if you would like more information or have a question for us.

Jo Underhill, visual artist, lived and worked in Brisbane, Australia. Her work explores the relationship between the cellular and the environment with a particular emphasis on notions of the micro and macrocosms. Jo received an honours Degree in Fine Art from The Queensland College of Art, Griffith University and spent more than 8 years living and working in London.

A personal journey through serious illness fuelled Jo’s artistic experience. Her work proceeds within the context of the meditative and contemplative coupled with a playful and positive approach to life. Between 2011 and 2014 Jo was Artist-in-Residence at the Institute of Molecular Bioscience, at The University of Queensland. 

In 2014 Jo's cancer took her life all too soon. Her legacy of pure joy and passion for both life and art lives on in every person she encountered. Especially in the hearts of her family, friends and students. 

We love you dearly Jo. Always x
