Craft Victoria Award

Congratulations NHS Alumni Craft Victoria Award

Congratulations to Emma Salmon a Northcote High Studio Arts and Victorian College of the Arts Printmaking Graduate for receiving The Future Leaders Awards, a philanthropic initiative, promoting leadership, achievement and potential among young Australians. 

Emma features as part of the Fresh! Exhibition Watson Place (off Flinders Lane) Naarm/Melbourne held between February 14, 2026, 11:00 AM — March 28, 2026, 4:00 PM. Celebrating the next wave of Victorian graduates in contemporary craft and design. Presented annually since 1993, Fresh! showcases the energy, skill and innovation of some of the best graduating students from craft, design and fine art disciplines throughout the state. 

Fresh! provides an important opportunity for graduates beginning their career as makers. The exhibition fosters the potential of graduating students and provides an insight into new directions of contemporary craft. 

Each year, Craft Victoria and an invited team of craft and design professionals view graduate exhibitions across Victoria to search for the freshest emerging makers working within craft and design disciplines. 

We are so proud of Emma and her achievements so far!
