SMC Alumnae Shine in Prestigious Youth Art Exhibition

Five talented recent Old Girls have been selected to showcase their artwork in Artstart, a prestigious exhibition celebrating emerging young artists from across Te Waipounamu.

With more than 1,500 submissions from secondary schools throughout Canterbury, being shortlisted is an incredible achievement.

Congratulations to Lucy Foster, Amy Jones, Harley McVicar, Rosa Turner, and Kyra Mayers, whose artworks will be displayed alongside pieces by established local artists.

Running until Thursday, 17 April, the exhibition is free to the public and open daily from 8am to 6pm at The Crossing Airbridge, Level 1, Christchurch.

Artstart aims to “save youth artwork from the skip” and frame it - both literally and figuratively - for a brighter future. By giving young creatives a professional platform to exhibit their work, the initiative helps boost confidence, build audiences, and create pathways into the arts.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our alumnae to share their creative talents with the wider community, and we are incredibly proud of their success. Don’t miss the chance to see the next generation of Kiwi artists on display!
