Each work artistically expresses young peoples’ everyday lives and the issues and concerns that confront them.

More than 500 people visited last year’s exhibition and the City of Wanneroo hopes more people will visit Northern Perspectives 2016, with last year’s success inspiring the City of Melville to initiate Southern Perspectives.

“This is a wonderful community event displaying the best art from students in our area,” Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said.

The Mudlark (Jilinbirri) Metals exhibition, featuring alongside the students’ exhibition, show- cases detailed woven designs representing traditional Aboriginal metal artworks.

The gallery, on Rocca Way in Wanneroo, is open from 10am to 4pm Mondays to Saturdays.
