Student Achievement
15 February
We are thrilled that Samantha Dechene, Damascus College Class of 2022 has joined the list of amazing artists showing at the prestigious Next Gen 2023 exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
Pictures that Samantha created as part of her Damascus Studio Arts Photography studies entitled “Stigma, Eccentric AND Deadly” will be on display from 18 February through 16 April, with the opening and awards night being held on Friday 17 February. Next Gen 2023 showcases the work of students from government, Catholic and Independent schools from Ballarat and its broader region who have just completed VCE studies in Art, Studio Arts, Design and Technology, Visual Communication and Design and Media.
The Art Gallery of Ballarat has been exhibiting some of the best work produced by students from across western Victoria for over 20 years. Next Gen continues to be an important part of the Gallery’s exhibition program. It provides valuation professional training to its participants, acts as an inspiring introduction to the art world for current students and gives Gallery visitors insights into the world of young people today.
You can view Samantha’s work now, virtually, as part of the 2022 Year 12 Visual Arts & Technology exhibit https://www.damascus.vic.edu.au/2022-Visual-Arts-Virtual-Tour/
Congratulations Samantha!
