Art Show: Unidos En Arte
Newlands PS Art Show – Unidos En Art
The Day Has Arrived – NPS Art Show is On Today!
The wait is finally over!
Newlands Primary School’s biannual Art Show is happe today, Friday 17th October, from 4:30–6:30pm. Gates open at 4:15pm with entry via Elizabeth Street.
This special event celebrates the incredible creativity of our students and brings our community together through art, music, and fun.
All proceeds from ticket sales will go towards purchasing a brand new kiln for the Art Room, enhancing our STEAM and Community Inquiry programs.
Entry is via ticket only! Tickets are available through Humanitix for $20 per family. Please click on the link below or scan the QR code below to purchase. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact the school office for assistance.
All proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards funding a brand new kiln for the Art Room, which will also enrich our STEAM and Community Inquiry programs by allowing students to experience the full process of clay creation—shaping, glazing, and firing—while fostering creativity, problem-solving, and cultural exploration through hands-on learning.
As part of the night, families can enjoy a rich program of attractions, including:
- Student artwork displayed gallery-style
- An illuminated art space
- Interactive activities spanning science, movement, dance, song, nature, and more
Throughout the afternoon, families will also be able to enjoy:
- Delicious food and drinks from food trucks and a PFA sausage sizzle

Items for the silent auction can be viewed on the night, in the Main Gallery area in the gymnasium.

We acknowledge that there may be a few members of our school community who are unable to attend the art show this afternoon. Therefore, we will open up the main gallery space in the Gymnasium on Monday morning from 8:15 am to 9:15 am.
In the meantime, here are some images of our wonderful staff assisting me with organising the gallery space in the Gymnasium.
