THEME

Staying Strong

2020 has been a year of challenges. In NSW, the bushfires burnt 5.4 million hectares of land and destroyed 25% of suitable koala habitat. Since the bushfires, COVID-19 has affected us all, often keeping us indoors. This helps us appreciate the importance of outdoor and natural spaces like local parks and bushland reserves.

As we work to recover from the rough year we’ve had so far, we are asking young artists to make an artwork in response to one of these questions:

1.       How can we recover our lost habitats after the destruction of the bushfires?
2.       How can we strengthen our community and environment for the future?

The artwork can be a drawing, painting, print, sculpture or ceramic piece. Artworks are exhibited alongside the adult exhibition from Saturday 28 November 2020 to Thursday 28 January 2021.
