Part of the annual HSC Showcase season ARTEPRESS at Hazelhurst features outstanding HSC artworks by over 50 Visual Arts students from across NSW, including nine from schools in southern Sydney, selected from the 2018 Higher School Certificate practical examination.

This year there was a strong emphasis on drought and fire, waste, humanity’s negative impact on the environment, the minutiae of life, and the importance of our natural environment. In addition, students also revealed their inner world as well: the impact of time, the escapism of digital games, the inner anxiety we all experience, and the fear and anger associated with life threatening illness.

Hazelhurst joined other venues across New South Wales in hosting the ARTEXPRESS exhibition, seen by thousands of people.
