In 2026, The Arts Lounge at Wyreena is celebrating the creativity of our community, with two exhibitions featuring work from our students and tutors.

From July to October, the second exhibition will feature the art of Wyreena's youngest artists: our 5 to 17 year old students.

Wyreena has always been a place that celebrates the creativity of children, with students as young as five years old first learning to draw in Wyreena classes. As children grow, Wyreena grows with them, challenging them with new drawing and painting techniques, and inspiring them to try new mediums, such as pottery, collage and mixed media.

This exhibition puts these young artists centre stage, showing works in pencil, paint, ceramics and more. These artworks demonstrate the unrestrained creativity, colour, passion and humour in which young artists specialise, and remind viewers of the ongoing importance of artistic education and creative expression for children and young people.
