The exhibition, a collaboration between seven young artists calling themselves the ‘Unearthed Youth Collective’, is part of the upcoming Ripple Fest.

The collective includes Shepherd Jose, Elijah Berriman, Olivia Lees, Ayden Freestone, Saylah Tarrant, Emily Burgess and Cara Haley.

The budding artists were mentored by emerging artists Ruby Wyatt-Carter, Annelise Henderson, Ellen Lee and Jesse Munzel.

In the lead-up to the exhibition, the artists worked out of the old Echuca information centre, now known as the Pump House.

The artworks explore connection, expression and the river landscapes that inspire the local community.

The exhibition will run until Sunday, May 25.

Ripple Fest will officially begin on Thursday, May 22 and will feature collaborations between local artists and performers and much more.

A full wrap-up of events will be available in the Wednesday, May 22 edition of The Riv.
