Lismore Regional Gallery invites you to the opening of ARTEXPRESS 2025.

Presenting a selection of outstanding bodies of work submitted for the 2024 HSC examination for Visual Arts by NSW students, the works in this exhibition use a wide variety of expressive approaches and media underpinned by rich conceptual themes.

From the late 1950s ARTEXPRESS has showcased the artistic orientation of young people and is a testament to their teachers across the state. This year Lismore Regional Gallery is pleased to present local student artists from the region – from Ballina Coast, Banora Point, Byron Bay, and Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner schools – in addition to those from far and wide NSW. The result is an inspiring and diverse survey of the next generation’s creative talent. 

ARTEXPRESS is a joint initiative between the NSW Department of Education and the NSW Education Standards Authority. The exhibition continues from 21 February – 20 April.

We will also be celebrating Lismore-based artist Tim Fry's exhibition, Local Knowledge, on display in the Jenny Dowell Gallery until 2 March.
