Ocean Grove Primary School (OGPS) will present its annual art exhibition today at The Hive Gallery.
The art show, open from 3.30pm to 6.30pm today (Friday, November 15), brings together more than 600 works from OGPS students across all year levels.
The show features a wide range of different media, including ceramics, weaving, painting, sculpture and photography.
The artworks are available for purchase at $5 a piece, with all proceeds going towards the school’s visual arts department.
OGPS art teacher Jo Chapman said the art show provided inspired students every year to engage with art-making.
“They’ve put in so much hard work, when they know that it’s for the art show it sort of becomes a whole new level of commitment,” Ms Chapman said.
“When you tell preps for the first time that their work is going to be in a real art gallery their little mouths drop.”
Ms Chapman thanked The Hive’s Karen Spreadborough and Will Wilson for their continued support of OGPS’s arts program.
“Karen and Will are just so supportive, giving us the space to use for the last few years; we are so grateful,” she said.
“Karen has such a good eye as well, helping us build the space so it looks so beautiful.”
Ms Chapman invited all members of the community to attend and enjoy refreshments provided by Two Doors Down Cafe and the Lions Club sausage sizzle.
