Young artists vibrant creativity showcased
THE young, creative mind was celebrated recently as over 100 pieces of artwork from the Mareeba Shire’s small, rural schools were showcased at Dimbulah State School’s inaugural Student Art Exhibition.
The event turned the school’s meeting room into a “vibrant hub of creativity and community spirit” and not only showcased over 100 pieces of artwork from Dimbulah students but also featured entries from neighbouring schools including Chillagoe State School, Mutchilba State School, Biboohra State School and the Dimbulah Kindergarten.
This collaboration between schools brought a rich variety of artistic expression to the event, with pieces ranging from colourful paintings to charcoal portraiture.
From the youngest kindergarten artists to the more experienced high schoolers, students of all ages had the opportunity to display their creativity.
The school plans to make the Student Art Exhibition an annual event following encouragement from a positive reception, with hopes of expanding its reach even further in the years to come.
As the exhibition came to a close, it was clear that the inaugural event had not only provided a platform for young artists to shine but had also strengthened the bond between Dimbulah State School, its neighbouring schools, and the local community.
