Now, in its second year, the exhibition gives budding local creatives a professional platform to display their work alongside established artists.
Gallery owner Tank said the exhibition had become an important event on the local arts calendar and a chance to celebrate emerging talent.
“We have an exciting year ahead with a few student exhibitions coming up,” Tank said.
“The exhibition is a great opportunity to showcase emerging talent.”
The exhibition opening will be held on Thursday, June 11 from 7pm, with nibbles provided and will remain open for viewing until June 18, open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays.
“It is a local gallery showcasing budding creative local students’ artwork and professional artists,” Tank said.
Of the works on show, Tank and the talented students themselves are most excited about the vibrant ceramic vases display.
Students were given full creative freedom in their designs but drew inspiration from the coral-themed artworks of Japanese Australian artist Ken Yonetami.

Year 10 student Gabriella Lagana said the ceramic vases were her favourite project to create.
“It was really free,” she said.
“I did mess it up a bit. It was going to fall over, but I saved it and now it looks kind of like those floral coral pieces.”
For Gabriella, the exhibition represents more than just an opportunity to display artwork.
“It’s showing students they really can do anything. It’s very freeing and expressive,” she said.
With works ranging from striking ceramics to bold and spirited artworks, the exhibition offers visitors a chance to experience unique creativity, perspective and confidence.
The opening is free to attend and organisers welcome members of the community to support local young talent.
