MS Plus Virtual Art Show

The MS Plus Virtual Art Show 2026, now in its 20th year, provides people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological conditions an opportunity to express their creativity and their unique experiences through art. 

We know that art can be a therapeutic tool that helps to connect the mind and body, helping people living with chronic conditions identify and express their feelings, to better manage their condition and improve their daily life.

Whether you identify as an artist or just enjoy creating, this is your chance to slow down and take a moment to explore your inner world.

Details of the MS Plus Virtual Art Show 2026 are coming soon!

Entry is open to people living with MS, their carers and those with other progressive neurological conditions. All types of artworks can be submitted, including paintings, illustrations, sculptures, craft, digital artwork and photography. 

Please note: the art show is open to MS Plus clients only. By submitting your entry to the MS Virtual Art Show you agree to be registered as a client of MS Plus. If you have any concerns or queries please reach out to our team on 1800 042 138 or email connect@msplus.org.au

Each year, one of the artists participating in the MS Virtual Art Show will receive the prestigious Barry Allen Art Award. The late Barry Allen was a man who loved painting and received great comfort in art and music.
