What Is The Indie Art Show?
Established in 2020, The Indie Art Show is an annual student exhibition.
Student art shows provide a space for learners to express their ideas through artwork. The Indie Art Show gives us insights into the unique perspectives of our artists, young and old. Art shows connect communities and provide accessible opportunities for learning. We love hosting this exhibition every year and are excited to see what our learners create in 2026.

Each year, students create artworks for a specific theme. This year’s theme is Community. Throughout 2026, students from around Australia will contribute artworks to the exhibition. See the FAQs for details.
