Campbell Street Children's Art Exhibition
Our Campbell Street Education and Care Service Manager, Bridget Shea, shares her reflection below:
‘There was great excitement at our service recently as children, families, valued members of our community and educators attended our annual Children’s Creative Arts Exhibition.
The exhibition featured amazing artworks by children utilising every possible medium from woodwork to painting, fabric, clay, and collage from all programs that were respectfully displayed throughout the service for all to see. Alongside each of their displays, artist statements and children’s voices were included to capture each child’s genuine creative process, and also highlight the importance of recognising each child’s voice.
It was such a delight to see the children proudly share their masterpieces with their families and explore the other children’s artworks on display. Each year, we are overwhelmed by the support from our local community and families, not only in their attendance, but additionally from their dedication to support the exhibition by coming together to gather resources such as natural and recycled materials that we are able to share throughout the service.
In addition to art based creative experiences, we also collated a short slideshow to highlight the creativity that has been expressed through music, dance, and play experiences from throughout the year, which was also enjoyed by those who attended on the evening.
Heartfelt thanks must go to our wonderful educators who worked so hard to support the creation of each art piece and collaborated together on the art exhibition concept to display all the creative pieces so respectfully.
Thank you also to all our families and members of our community who came along to share the children’s excitement and to show your appreciation of the play and learning opportunities offered to your children within our programs. Our close-knit community of children, families, educators and support staff is a very special one and that was very evident on the night.
Please enjoy these photos which showcase just a small sample of the incredible children’s artworks on display at the exhibition’.
