Celebrating Young People of Bayside Art Exhibition 2022
We invite you to be amazed by our talented young artists
For over twenty years The Young People of Bayside Art Exhibition has provided young people aged 10-25 years who have a connection to Bayside the opportunity to celebrate their talents and have a space to exhibit their work.
The artwork is proudly shown at the Bayside City Council Offices, 76 Royal Avenue Sandringham 3191, and we invite you to be amazed by our talented young artists.
The artwork will be displayed until 21 October 2022.
We are delighted to announce the 2022 Young People of Bayside Art Exhibition has been another successful year of celebrating emerging young artists in Bayside.
The Young People of Bayside Art Exhibition is organised by Bayside Youth Services and the Boombox Events FReeZA committee, a dedicated youth event committee aimed at supporting young people to enjoy live gigs and other cultural, recreational and artist events. The pieces of work in this exhibition uniquely reflect the talent, diversity and passion of our young artists.
The theme for this year’s exhibition was ‘The community around us’. The Boombox Events FReeZA committee invited young artists of Bayside to draw on their own concept of community and unity in their pieces, which support us throughout changes in the world around us and promote acceptance and diversity.
Congratulations to our winners and runner ups
Primary School category

Judges’ comments: A well-developed depiction of the face using kaleidoscopic colour. The judges enjoyed the optimism of the title.
Middle School category
Winner: Wandering in the entropy, Angelia aged 17
Judges’ comments: Very Impressive and detailed. Visual dynamic and fascination. The judges loved the sense of community conveyed by the imaginary fish world.
Runner Up: Razia Sultan, Ebba aged 17
Judges’ comments: This photograph is a portrait of a strong female leader from the past. The judges liked the moodiness and symbolism of the photograph and the fact that the artist wanted to recreate the charades of this historical figure. A contemporary recreation of an old masters still life genre.
