14 March 2024

This week, the Top Arts 2024 exhibition opened at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), featuring exceptional work from students who completed VCE Art Creative Practice or VCE Art Making and Exhibiting in 2023. The NGV describes the exhibition as ‘a fascinating survey of the curious, creative and innovative spirit of young artists’.

The artwork of four students from Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) schools was selected for the exhibition:

• Luca D’Angelo from Mazenod College, Mulgrave
• Janis D’Souza from John Paul College, Frankston
• Mercedes Lucarelli from Sacred Heart Girls’ College, Hughesdale
• Evelyn Noone (artwork pictured) from John Paul College, Frankston.

This is not the first time Luca’s work has been exhibited. His self-portrait was displayed in last year’s Creative Arts Exhibition. Held during Catholic Education Week at the Catholic Leadership Centre, the exhibition is a unique opportunity for students to take part in a curated display of art created by primary and secondary students from across the Archdiocese of Melbourne.

This year’s Creative Arts Exhibition is open until Saturday 16 March, with viewers required to book tickets.

Top Arts 2024 is on at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia until Sunday 14 July, with free entry daily.
