Each year, the HSC Showcases display a selection of top major works from students across visual arts, performing arts and technologies.
Minister for Education and Early Learning, Sarah Mitchell, said Showcases offered a unique opportunity for members of the public to enjoy the works of our recent HSC graduates and provide a platform for young people to launch future careers in the field.
“Every year I look forward to these Showcases,” the Minister said.
“They are highly anticipated events that consistently celebrate the calibre of work, year after year. Seeing what students have produced in a challenging year really shows me that the future is bright for these young people, and our workforce and communities will be better for them.
“I am always immensely proud of our Showcase candidates but to see the interesting, innovative and thought-provoking works they have created in the midst of a global pandemic and under strange and difficult circumstances, is truly inspiring.”
This year’s exhibitions reflect on what is important to young people as members of their community and personally, including the impacts of Covid, their strength and vulnerability, their heritage and the environment around them.
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, the Arts and Regional Youth, Ben Franklin, encouraged schools, teachers and members of the community to get along and take a look at this year’s Showcases and to celebrate these incredible students.
“I know for many students, particularly those producing major works across the Creative Arts and Technologies, Covid meant there were some changes to their preparations and assessment – and I am delighted to see that despite these challenges, our resilient students could still show us what they could do – and be celebrated now in one of the HSC Showcases in Sydney and regional NSW.”
ARTEXPRESS is now on at the Art Gallery of NSW and at limited venues across the State throughout the year.
