NGV Summer Scholarship

National Gallery of Australia - Leroy Szabo

After being accepted into the National Gallery of Australia Summer Scholarship in late 2023, Leroy  attended the program online during the 2024 school year and then had the privilege of attending the National Galley in Canberra over the Summer holidays for an intensive Art experience.

• There were only 2 people from every state and territory
• He had to apply to get it via creating a response to the Ouroboros artwork by                Lindy Lee

Quote from Leroy:

"Taking part in the National Gallery Of Australia Summer Scholarship was a great experience. We met for a year online leading up to going to Canberra for a week. The scholarship involved getting to work with established Australian artists, curator tours and talks where curators walked us through their exhibitions, visiting artist studios, a behind the scenes look into conservation and collaborative and individual art making. The experience was extremely valuable especially because we focus a lot on curation and conservation in Year 12 art making."

Leroy is now able to take all that he has learnt from this great experience into his Year 12 Art-Making and Exhibiting class! 

We look forward to seeing his inspired artworks in the Art Show in Term 4!
