Students at Kalamunda SHS celebrated the work of many young budding artists at this year’s Luminary art exhibition held at Zigzag art gallery from the 12 to 29 August. Luminary, which means a person who inspires or influences others, was chosen for this wonderful exhibition to represent the creativity and skill of Kalamunda art students from Years 7 to 12.

There were 2 awards presented on the opening night from our generous local creative sponsors White Room Framing and Fair and Co. Silas Kempt Year 7 GAT Art student was the proud recipient of the Lower School White Room Prize for his gorgeous ceramic artwork 'Banksia Woodlands'. Shiri Atizili in Year 11 Fashion Design won the Senior White Room Prize for her lino print entitled 'Three of Cups'. Silas and Charlotte have been awarded complimentary framing at White Room Framing!

Kalamunda is such a creative and supportive community and Luminary is a great example of what can be achieved when the whole community works together to support our students. Thank you to our hard working teachers in The Arts, The Kalamunda Council for their kind donation of the Zig Zag gallery space; to our generous sponsors from White Room Framing and Fair and Co and of course our wonderful students and supportive families who attended this event.  We look forward to our next Luminary exhibition in 2024!
