Visual Arts
Sydney Contemporary opened with a typically vibrant and exciting evening at Carriageworks in Redfern last week.
Sydney Contemporary is Australasia’s premier art fair – the largest and most diverse gathering of leading contemporary art galleries in the region and we were thrilled to reconnect with so many SCEGGS Old Girls in the crowd as leading arts professionals and on the walls as exhibitors.
Here are some of our past students we chatted to during the evening.
| India Ford (Class of 2017) | Fair Manager |
| Eliza Gosse (Class of 2012) | exhibiting with Olsen Gallery |
| Thea Anamara Perkins (Class of 2009) | exhibiting with NSmith Gallery |
| Prue Stent and Honey Long (Class of 2011) | exhibiting with ARC One Gallery |
| Sophia Mavris (Class of 2017) | VIP Relations Team |
| Saskia McCarthy (Class of 2019) | Gallery Assistant at MContemporary |
| Isobel Parker Philip (Class of 2007) | Deputy Director of the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra |
…and too many Old Girls to name in the audience as discerning viewers and buyers!
We love seeing how a SCEGGS Art Education informs such diverse pathways to achieve success in the art world.
And speaking of spectacular evenings we are thrilled to share some images from the Year 12 Visual Arts HSC Exhibition that was on show during Week 6 of this term. This event is a highlight of the HSC calendar, when senior SCEGGS girls get to celebrate their creative achievements, reflecting on their problem solving, technical skills and sophisticated conceptual investigation. The calibre of work, the pride, laughter and love in the room was amazing!
