Imogen hits the Hobart city art scene

Posted on in Senior School

Huge congratulations to Year 11 student Imogen Nicholas, whose artwork was selected for the brand-new Art on Victoria display in Hobart. Imogen is one of just eight local students chosen for this public exhibition, which officially launched on 2 June. You can check out the work behind Artery at 30 Victoria Street.

Art on Victoria is a collaboration between the City of Hobart’s Youth Arts and Recreation Centre, Community Safety and local partners, including Artery and LJ Hooker. The goal is to give young artists a real-world platform and let the community see what emerging creatives are doing right now.

The current exhibition is inspired by Salon des Refusés, a famous 1863 exhibition in Paris that showcased artworks rejected by the mainstream art world. It ended up changing art history by challenging ideas about what art “should” be. This version flips that same idea into a modern context, celebrating creativity without limits. Many of the artists are exhibiting for the first time, proving that you don’t need approval or experience to make meaningful work, just the confidence to put it out there.

Imogen’s inclusion is a massive achievement and a great example of what happens when young artists take creative risks. Go check it out and support young local artists!
