Local Schools Art Exhibition
The Town of Cambridge is proud to encourage and support young aspiring artists through our annual Local Schools Art Exhibition. The annual event is an invitation to local schools to submit artwork from their students from kindergarten to Year 6. The exhibition encourages creativity and imagination and provides an opportunity for students to have their art project displayed in an exhibition. Artworks are judged by a panel of local artists and art enthusiasts. Prizes are awarded to overall winners of the year groups as well as an Encouragement Award and a High Commendation Award.
2018 Local Schools Art Exhibition
We are delighted to present the 2018 Local Schools Art Exhibition.
The official opening of the 18th Local Schools Art Exhibition took place on Thursday, 13 September 2018 at the Boulevard Centre, with over 100 artworks on display, including sculptures, photography, collage and paintings by talented students from the following local primary schools, Floreat Park PS, Wembley PS, Kapinara PS, Holy Spirit PS, Lake Monger PS, Bold Park Community School, International School of WA and Newman College. It was a truly enjoyable night with the awards presentation and a fantastic Collective Art activity by local artist John Major.
Councillors Ian Everett and Kate McKerracher, Patrycja Rosinska from the Town's Community Development team, and local artist John Major were tasked with the difficult job of selecting winning entries in three categories 'Encouragement Award', 'High Commendation Award' and 'Overall Winner'. After much deliberation, the winners were announced on Thursday with students receiving their awards in front of family and friends.
The Town would like to thank and congratulate all the winners and participants and all teachers and Principals who helped to make this event a great success.
The 2018 Local Schools Art Exhibition will be displayed at the Floreat Forum Shopping Centre until Friday 21 September 2018.
