A Council curated exhibition of student artworks selected from the 2020 NSW HSC.

Willoughby City Council presents an inspiring exhibition of student artworks selected from the 2020 NSW HSC practical examination in Visual Arts. 2020 presented many challenges, particularly for young people in the latter years of their high school education or in casual work. Smart Expressions 2021 celebrates the artistic talents and achievements of the students who have continued to excel through the hardest of years.

As part of Generation R, the exhibition Smart Expressions 2021 showcases the resilience and optimism of youth. The exhibition presents a wide variety of artworks exploring resilience topics such as the environment, discrimination, isolation, gender identity, mental health, connection and hope, and how COVID-19 has impacted life. Featuring artworks from students who attended five local high schools:

  • Chatswood High School
