Students from TAFE Gippsland will showcase their creative flair at a photography exhibition to be held at Traralgon Centre Plaza from Monday 7 November to Sunday 13 November.
TAFE Gippsland Visual Arts teacher Tara Little is encouraging everyone to come along and celebrate our students as they show off their artistic abilities.
“This is the first year that students are to exhibit their photography since we started our Certificate III in Visual Arts Photography in 2018 and TAFE Gippsland are dedicated to supporting arts in the Gippsland region,” Tara said.
“It’s a great opportunity for our students to put their work on display and give Gippsland locals a taste of their fabulous talents. Also, people will have a chance to vote for their favourite photo and help decide the winner of the People’s Choice Award category. With 75 amazing pieces to choose from, they’ve got their work cut out for them!”
The judging panel for the competition side of things includes Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath MP, Gabriella Duffy Assistant Curator Latrobe Regional Gallery and Fon Pape from Fon Pape Photography.
Tara said they have some great prizes up for grabs thanks to a generous group of event sponsors.
“The first prize winner will win a lifetime membership to Story Art Education with Karen Alsop giving them access to endless hours’ worth of photoshop tutorials and techniques,” Tara said.
“Other prizes include vouchers from Kayell Australia, Full Picture and Ted’s Camera House. The People’s Choice Award winner will receive a voucher from Traralgon Centre Plaza.
“We’re very fortunate to have all our sponsors on board. It’s a great incentive for our students to know they might win a prize for their creativity and encourage them to continue doing what they love.”
Help decide the winner of the People's Choice Award category and vote for your favourite photograph. See something you like? You can also purchase your favourite print from the Full Picture website.
