Iluka Visions is BRAG’s annual exhibition of student artworks from high schools in the South West region. Since 1991, Iluka Visions has showcased artworks created by students in high schools stretching from Harvey to Manjimup.
This year, the exhibition consists of major pieces made by artists in Year 11 and Year 12 from 13 schools. Works were selected by the school’s respective arts staff and exhibited the best of their senior school student artist’s skills and conceptual development. Artworks range from painting to ceramic, to wearable art, sculpture, video, photography, and a combination of mediums. They range in content from engaging with current social and political issues, to personal reflections on the human condition, to fan art and pure image-making.
