Gallery opportunities for young artists and designers aged under 18 are precious and few. This makes it all the more significant that major galleries like the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) showcase annual exhibitions of senior high school graduating works.
This year’s exhibiting students join an impressive cohort of former artists including Ben Quilty (1991), David Griggs (1994), Jasper Knight (1997), Julie Fragar (1995), Tom Polo (2002), Bhenji Ra (2009) and Louise Zhang (2009).
