SNOWY Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) is proud to participate in the Jindabyne Lions Easter Art Show, a beloved community event that has been celebrating creativity and artistic expression for more than 30 years.

This annual exhibition provides a wonderful platform for local artists, including talented SMGS students, to share their work with the wider community.

This year, SMGS Year 11 students are entering artworks from their recent unit, Technical Illustrations – Body and Botanicals. Through this study, students have explored intricate compositions, refining their technical skills to create visually striking pieces that will now be on display for the community to enjoy.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful event and appreciate the platform it provides our young student artists to share their work with the wider community,” SMGS head of art and design, Scott Frize, said.

Adding to the excitement, the students’ artworks have been created in the school’s inspiring new art room, located within the Curiosity Centre. The space, designed to foster creativity, is bathed in natural light and offers stunning views of Lake Jindabyne and the surrounding mountains, an environment that encourages artistic exploration and expression.

Art teacher, Sidney Tulau, highlighted the unique benefits of the space, noting that the art room sits within a gallery area on the lower level of the Curiosity Centre.

“This allows our students to visualise completed works and immerse themselves in the creative process,” she said.

SMGS remains committed to fostering artistic talent and engaging with the local community through events like the Easter Art Show.

The school looks forward to seeing the works of its students displayed alongside those of other local artists, further strengthening its connection with Jindabyne’s vibrant arts scene.
