ARTEXPRESS
25 May - 15 July 2018
ARTEXPRESS is a showcase of Higher School Certificate work, representing best practice in visual arts education.
The exhibition not only celebrates student achievement, but is a wonderful event that connects communities through the visual arts, and offers us a glimpse into the lives, hopes and concerns of our young people.
ARTEXPRESS is not one, but a series of exhibitions that take place over an 11 month period. The exhibition on show at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery is unique to the Hawkesbury.
While all works are deemed excellent examples suitable for exhibition, there are many other factors involved in the selection of works. Each exhibition must include works from both metropolitan and regional centres, and from both Government and non-government schools, with fairness in regards to gender balance and expressive form; meaning that the exhibition includes everything from ceramics, drawing and graphic design, to painting, photomedia, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and fibre, as well as time-based forms.
ARTEXPRESS has grown from humble beginnings in the 1950s to a major event in New South Wales. The impact of the exhibition has far surpassed its original function as a display of exemplary Visual Arts bodies of work, and it remains internationally unique in its selection processes, quality and scope. There’s simply nothing like it.
ART EXPRESS is a NSW Department of Education touring exhibition and is on show at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery until 15 July 2018. The exhibition opens on Friday 25 May at 6pm and all are welcome to attend!
