Success at the 2026 Clancy Prize Religious Art Exhibition<\/span><\/h5>\n

On Friday 16 October, students, families and staff attended the opening of the 2026 Clancy Prize Religious Art Exhibition at the ACU McGlade Gallery, Strathfield.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Clancy Prize showcases outstanding student artworks from Sydney Catholic Schools and invites young artists to engage with faith through creative practice. This year’s theme, Origins to Destiny: From Genesis to Salvation<\/em>, encouraged students to reflect on creation, identity, faith and the journey of salvation through visual art.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were delighted to have six artworks selected for exhibition, representing the talent, creativity and thoughtful artistic investigations of our students.<\/span><\/p>\n

A highlight of the evening was the recognition of Blueprints of Belonging<\/em>, a collaborative Year 8 lino print installation that received 3rd Place in the Monsignor Doherty Prize (Stage 4 & 5). Created in response to the exhibition theme, the work brought together individual student prints exploring identity, faith, culture, family and belonging. Through a collection of personal symbols arranged as a unified installation, the artwork celebrated both the uniqueness of each student and the connections shared within a diverse community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations to Costanza, Isabella, Laura, Mary, Rosalie, Aurelia and Sabrina on exhibiting their work in the 2026 Clancy Prize Religious Art Exhibition and proudly representing the College among talented young artists from across Sydney Catholic Schools.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition remains open to the public from 16-23 October 2026 at the ACU McGlade Gallery, Strathfield. We encourage members of our College community to visit and experience the diverse and inspiring artworks on display.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are incredibly proud of all students involved and commend them on their creativity, dedication and willingness to engage thoughtfully with this year’s theme through their artistic practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
