Visual Arts

The Visual Arts Department has an extensive exhibition history as both solo artists and as a group. We are delighted to conclude 2023 with a group show, titled Eleven, that includes all current members of the department, Kylie Brennan, Louisa Dawson, Heidi Jackson, Anita Tesoriero and Louise Willems, and includes for the first time, both our arts assistants, Michaela Gleave and Lilli Stromland. Our co-curricular tutors Ian Lever and Chris Gleisner will also be included as exhibitors. Alongside this group, we also have 2 past members of the department, former Head of Art, Katrina Collins, and Cheryl Collier who retired after 30 and 31 respective years of service at SCEGGS.

The exhibition is officially opening on 2 December at 1 to 4 pm, at Comber St Studios, 5 Comber St, Paddington.

Preview times are available on Wednesday 29 November, Thursday 30 November and Friday 1 December between 1pm -4 pm.

Here are the images of individual work from the members of our Department:

We warmly invite all members of the SCEGGS community to join us for opening drinks on Saturday. We especially encourage our students and their families to come and enjoy the afternoon with their Visual Arts teachers. With 11 artists in total there will be a rich diversity of practice to explore.
