In a first for the Hunter Wetlands we have curated an exhibition entirely showcasing the work of young artists of the Hunter Region.

These exciting emerging artists were invited to submit their portfolios and subsequently began the process of creating artworks specifically for an exhibition inspired by the Hunter Wetlands. The artists spent time on the grounds discovering our wetlands nature and exploring their artistic styles while also learning about the fundamentals of staging an exhibition. This unique opportunity allowed the children to explore their artistry from a creative and professional perspective.

The result is an exhibition featuring a fresh interpretation of the wetlands by 18 young artists aged between ages 6-16. It is a fantastic collection of vibrant, colourful, and varied artworks that present together in a comprehensive and complimentary showcase of local youth art.
