ARTEXPRESS 2012

Overview

It doesn’t get much fresher than this. One of Australia’s best-loved showcases of up-and-coming artwork is back again, bringing together a collection of the best student submissions from 2011’s HSC Visual Arts exams. And you know the drill.

Expect 46 outstanding pieces of all sorts: sculpture, painting, ceramics, documented forms, graphic design, painting, drawing, print making, photo media, textiles and fibre, time-based forms and absolutely everything in between (and trust us, there’s always something a little unorthodox to be found if you look hard enough).

In its 29th year, ARTEPXRESS has become one of Sydney’s most-anticipated artistic celebrations. More than 9700 student submissions are sifted through before the final cut is produced. It goes without saying that the quality is stellar, offering the general public unparalleled insight into the future of mainstream local art. Furthermore, it’s great exposure for our budding artists. ARTEXPRESS has gone on to show at international galleries all over the world in the past, including a 1990 and 1992 showing at New York’s Children’s Museum of Manhattan. Seriously, you don’t want to miss it.
