Student Artwork Shines In Regional Exhibition

Whitsunday Anglican School students recently made their mark on the Central Queensland art scene, with their work showcased in the Creative Generations Excellence in Visual Art Awards – Central Queensland Regional Exhibition at the Emu Park Gallery.

The exhibition, which ran daily until October 18, formed part of the Yeppoon Lions Pinefest celebrations — an annual highlight that celebrates the creativity, passion, and artistic excellence of young people from across the region.

A representative from Whitsunday Anglican School said, “We’re so proud to see our talented students involved in this incredible programme and to have the opportunity to exhibit their stunning artworks as part of the Central Queensland Regional Exhibition.”

Students Scarlett, Neiva, and Sophie were among those whose inspiring pieces captured the admiration of visitors throughout the exhibition, showcasing not only their skill but the strength of visual arts education within the Mackay and Whitsunday region.

“Their inspiring pieces continue to impress visitors throughout the exhibition,” the representative added.

The event highlighted the region’s thriving creative community and the bright future of its emerging artists.
