AN EXCITING exhibition of works from 19 young people from the Yarra Valley opened on Saturday 21 May at the The Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton.
Curator, Suyin Chan, said the exhibition, ‘The Yarts of the Valley’, is a collection of mostly first-time exhibitors.
“The collection represents a lively mix of styles and mediums from Manga, spray paint, murals, clay, and reproductions to photographs, acrylics, pencil, fineline pens and watercolour,” Ms Chan said.
Students from Upper Yarra Secondary College, Little Yarra Steiner School and the Yarra Valley Community School are represented in this diverse exhibition, as well as a few first year university students, and one senior primary school student.
“This exhibition is well worth a visit to see what amazing young talent we have in the area,” Ms Chan said.
The Yarts of the Valley is open until 8 June at The Waterwheel Centre, Main Street, Warburton.
The centre and the gallery are open every day from 10am to 4pm.
