The Creative Showcase is an annual celebration of the creative talents of visual art students from across the Yarra Ranges. It is an exciting chance to have your final artwork exhibited in a professional exhibition.

Show your artwork in a public gallery, work with professional gallery staff and have your work seen by hundreds of people over the two week exhibition. Presented and hosted by Burrinja Cultural Centre, the exhibition delivers a diverse and exciting collection of works by the region’s most inspiring emerging artists. The exhibition is professionally curated and participation is by application.

2025 will bring together students from the Hills region of the Yarra Ranges, into one dynamic, multi-disciplinary exhibition to be held at Burrinja Cultural Centre.

 

 

 

Artists selected to be a part of the Creative Showcase exhibition will be notified by email before Friday 29 November 2025. Please note that there is a chance that only a selection of your artwork may be curated into the exhibition. Artists will also be notified if their work is not selected for exhibition.

Artists are responsible for the delivery and pick-up of their artwork. All artwork must be delivered ready to hang or exhibit, this means for two dimensional works; framed or with appropriate hooks or fixtures; for media works on DVD or memory stick in easy to play format. Please contact us if you need to talk about the best way to present your work in our gallery.
