Kids

Students from a local school visited the Art Gallery to experience an exhibition co-curated by people from their commmunity about ideas and issues that matter to the community.

Go behind the scenes with Young Archie judges for insights into this annual competition for artists aged 5 to 18.

Reading the words of the Young Archie finalists proves that these children are not just talented, they’re also wise.

We caught up with some past Young Archie winners to find out what they’re doing now, how the award impacted them, and what advice they might have for others.

Since 2013, Young Archie artists aged 5 to 18 have shared stories that range from heartbreaking to joyous as they create portraits of the people closest to them.

When artists Robin White and Ebonie Fifita were creating a ‘making space’ for Matisse Alive, they wanted ‘somewhere where people feel at home’.

Some amazing young people share their imagined ‘superpowers’ for confronting a challenging world.
