Albany schools, students and artists have a unique opportunity to have their artwork displayed at Yagan Square in Perth as part of the 2024 Showcase in Pixels exhibition hosted by WALGA.
The theme for the 2024 exhibition is Heroes Among Us, inviting artists to cast a spotlight on those whose dedication and selflessness transcend the ordinary, contributing to the fabric of our community.
This could range from realistic portraits capturing the steely determination of a first responder to abstract interpretations that convey the essence of community service.
Artwork may include mixed media, digital art, paintings, sculptures, or any form of visual art that aligns with the theme.
Artwork can be submitted through six categories:
•Junior Primary School(s) up to year 3
•Upper Primary School(s) up to year 6
•Secondary School(s) up to year 12
•Community Group(s)
•Non-Professional Individuals
•Professional Individuals
Each submission to WALGA’s Showcase in Pixels must be accompanied by a summary to provide an explanation of the artwork and how it relates to the theme in order to be considered.
All artwork must be submitted by the City of Albany on behalf of the artist. WALGA will judge the submissions, and the winning pieces in each category will be displayed in Yagan Square.
Executive Director Community Services Nathan Watson said the exhibition is a fantastic platform for Albany's creative talent to shine on a larger stage.
“It's not only an opportunity to showcase artistic skills but also to highlight the remarkable stories of those who make a significant impact in our community,” Mr Watson said.
“The City encourage everyone to participate and share their unique perspectives on what it means to be a hero among us.”
Entries to Showcase in Pixels must be submitted to the City of Albany by emailing a photo of the artwork to [email protected] before 5pm on 13 September 2024.
