MONTMORENCY SECONDARY COLLEGE ARTS ALIVE 2023
Each year Montmorency Secondary College invites local primary school students, in Years 4, 5 & 6, to enter their artwork into a competition as part of the annual Arts Alive exhibition. This year's theme is ‘You Can Be Anything’. The art work must be A4 or A3 in size and can be created using 2D, 3D or ICT media. Suitable types of artworks include paintings, collages, photographs, mixed media, printing, sculpture or animation.
Twenty finalists will be chosen to be showcased on the opening night. All finalists will be invited to attend a special workshop to be held later on in the year and there will be prizes and a presentation for those students awarded 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.
The submissions must be dropped off at Montmorency Secondary by Friday 6th October.
Our Greenhills artists have been very well represented in the past and we encourage as many students as possible to get involved. If you have any questions please contact one of us or Montmorency Secondary. A flyer and entry form is attached. There are printed versions available at the main office.
Looking forward to some amazing artworks.
Kind Regards
Andrea Williams & Sarah Leach
