High school students to exhibit at Lockyer Valley Art Gallery

Three of the region’s high schools will showcase their works at the upcoming art exhibition, titled “Togetherness” by High Schools of the Lockyer Valley.

Featuring a diverse range of artwork, this exhibition invites viewers to perceive the works through the eyes of a teenager growing up in the Lockyer Valley.

Lockyer Valley Community Services Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said the Lockyer Valley Art Gallery always looked forward to this annual exhibition.

“Navigating one’s teenage years can often be a testing time, and for many, art is a wonderful and therapeutic medium to assist with this change.

“Art stimulates problem-solving and creativity – and is also well-documented to assist in anxiety and depression.

“Similarly, it can be a great way to express happiness, wonder and hope whether that be about nature, family, friends or even the future.

“We’re again eager to present the works of students from Lockyer District High School, Laidley State High School and Faith Lutheran College.

“The works allows viewers to see the world through the lens of local teenagers growing up in our rural community, and I encourage everyone to come along and see for themselves,” Cr Hagan said.

Togetherness by High Schools of the Lockyer Valley is on at the Lockyer Valley Art Gallery from 1 September until 15 October 2023 with free entry.
