Celebrating Student Creativity at Artwaves 2024
John Paul College is proud to share with the community that artworks by our talented Visual Arts students have been selected as winning entries in this year's Artwaves 2024 exhibition. Held at the Logan Art Gallery from 13 September to 19 October, Artwaves showcases exceptional student creations from over 30 Secondary Schools across the Logan and Southern Brisbane regions.
Each piece was carefully selected by Visual Arts teachers and then vetted by a judging panel, ensuring only the finest work is displayed. We are thrilled to have our students represent JPC at this prestigious event.
The exhibition's opening night on Friday, 4 October, will feature guest speakers, entertainment and catering provided by participating schools, including John Paul College. This annual exhibition is a testament to the incredible creativity and imagination thriving in our community.
