Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said she was impressed at the level of work achieved.
“The works on display across these exhibitions is mature, thoughtful and highlights the tremendous capacity for critical thinking, innovation and creativity in NSW schools.
“Those experiences from last year have been reflected in the creative and design work – whether that be a quilt depicting arid drought landscapes, or a portable oxygen device particularly poignant in the context of COVID-19, or an innovative new design to assist blind and visually impaired community members,” Ms Mitchell said.
ARTEXPRESS is now showing at metro and regional galleries in NSW and features the work of more than 270 Visual Arts students across the state.
OnSTAGE, CALLBACK and ENCORE will be available online this year, giving all schools across the State access to the depth and breadth of talent from 66 students in HSC Drama, Dance and Music, respectively.
