♦ The exhibition features 32 student artworks showcasing a wide range of expressive forms.

♦ What’s next: It is free to attend and runs from 16 August to 21 September.

The exhibition features 32 student artworks selected from the 2024 HSC in Visual Arts, showcasing a wide range of expressive forms including ceramics, drawing, graphic design, painting, photomedia, printmaking, sculpture and time-based works.

ARTEXPRESS is a joint initiative of the NSW Department of Education and the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), celebrating student achievement and providing a valuable resource for teaching and learning in Visual Arts.

The Orange iteration of the exhibition has been curated by Orange Regional Gallery’s Public Engagement and Education Officer, Cecilie Knowles, who selected the works in person over three days in Sydney. The selection represents excellence in creative practice and aims to connect with both local and visiting audiences.

Deputy Mayor and Recreation and Culture Policy Committee Chair Cr Tammy Greenhalgh praised the opportunity to showcase young creative talent from across NSW.

“It’s inspiring to see what these students have created-works that are bold, thoughtful and full of heart. To have five students from our region included is something we can all be proud of,” she said.

Five students from the Central West have their work featured in this year’s exhibition:

  • Kate Adams from Kinross Wolaroi School – Perfectly Imperfect (Body of Work)
  • Poppy Wishart from James Sheahan Catholic High School – Wanted Miracles, Wasted Morsels (Painting)
  • Eva Keeghan from James Sheahan Catholic High School – Beneath the Calm (Painting)
  • Jack Ryan from Molong Central School – Man-Making Men (Drawing)
  • Mimi Taylor from Denison College Bathurst High Campus – In an Instant (Photomedia)

NESA Chief Executive Officer, Paul Martin, commended all students whose work was nominated for exhibition in ARTEXPRESS 2025 and congratulated the 32 students who were selected for exhibition at Orange Regional Gallery.

“ARTEXPRESS is a wonderful opportunity for the public to witness our youngest artists entering the Australian arts landscape.

“The calibre of work now on display at the Orange Regional Gallery is a celebration of our young artists who found and fostered their passion, artistry and skills in NSW classrooms and the HSC Visual Arts syllabus,” Mr Martin said.

The exhibition is free to attend and runs from 16 August to 21 September 2025 at Orange Regional Gallery.
