Held at Romsey Town Hall, the event on Saturday, June 28, and was organised by Romsey Amnesty members Jane Brambley and Chloe Angel.
It featured work from refugee artists and volunteers, under the theme Community as a Superpower.
More than 160 visitors attended the exhibition, which included paintings, jewellery, cakes, and woodwork created by refugee artists living in the community.
The Mayor of Romsey, Russell Theron, was among those in attendance. Cllr Theron said: “It was an honour to meet so many talented refugees who have used art in such a positive way. The work on display was superb.”
The event aimed to build a more inclusive and connected Romsey by giving artists a platform to share their stories and creativity with the wider community.
Romsey Amnesty organisers said they hope the exhibition will “pave the way for future showcases” and are keen to make it an annual event.
The event formed part of a broader effort to support refugees and promote understanding through cultural engagement.
