Theme: Community
This year’s art prize theme of ‘community’ was chosen to highlight the immense power of human connections and the significance of collective experiences. By exploring the theme of community, students had the opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of diverse cultures, shared stories, and the profound impact that communities have on shaping our identities and fostering a sense of belonging.
We encouraged all participating artists to embrace their creativity and explore the theme of “community” in innovative and imaginative ways. Think beyond conventional interpretations and delve into the depths of what community means to you personally.
