The show, features a selection of works from students in Years 7 to 12 at high schools from Gloucester, Chatham, Great Lakes, Bulahdelah, Wingham and Taree.

The 60 selected works were chosen from hundreds of works produced by students during 2009.

Gallery representatives Sue Mitchell and Jane Hosking visited each of the schools to select the works for the exhibition.

Sue said the selection criteria was simply the quality of the works produced by the students.

On show, everything from graphics, including two dimensional and three dimensional pieces, sculpture, photography, print making and paintings.
