Announcing a New Student Art Exhibition for Students in Years 9 - 12

In 2009 AGRA, in association with Art Education Victoria and Art Education Australia, will host an exhibition for art students who are in years 9 to 12. The purpose is to encourage students to excel in their subject and to foster the interest and development of ‘realist’ art as an important segment of the wider artistic world.

Digital images of work created in a two dimensional medium at school should be sent to AGRA in October and November 2008. Visit the AGRA website for details.

The Exhibition will take place for two weeks in February 2009 at the AGRA Galleries in Camberwell, Victoria. There will also be an on-line exhibition on the AEV and AEA websites.

Awards:

• Exhibited artists will receive a certificate of recognition.
• Vouchers for art supplies for winners of a peoples’ choice award.
• A special one year Student Membership of AGRA.
• A special one year Individual Teacher membership for each of AEA and AEV (for a new member)

Art teachers throughout Australia are urged to encourage their students to enter their work for this important new exhibition which aims to nurture young artists through the display of their work in a professional gallery space. Download a flyer here.
