THE Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre is set to present EMERGE for the second consecutive year, with the 2026 exhibition running from April 17 to May 3.<\/p>\n

Bringing together work from four local high school, the exhibition will showcase the creative achievements of Stage I and Stage II Visual Art students from across Mount Gambier.<\/p>\n

Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre and Cultural Development Director Ashleigh Whatling said the exhibition reflects both the depth of local creative talent and the centre\u2019s commitment to nurturing emerging artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis exhibition brings you some outstanding works from graduates of Mount Gambier High School, Grant High School, Tenison Woods College and St Martins Lutheran College,\u201d Ms Whatling said. \u201cAs a leading regional gallery, we pride ourselves in supporting local talent and young emerging artists through partnering with our secondary schools. I invite you to celebrate the youth of Mount Gambier and engage with the next generation\u2019s creative practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riddoch assistant curator Saskia Scott highlighted the richness and diversity the exhibition will showcase.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fantastic to visit the four high schools and see the emerging talent in our region,\u201d Ms Scott said. \u201cThe exhibition reflects the diversity of mediums and themes that the students have chosen to explore as part of their studies in SACE Stage I and II.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are exciting and innovative works in video and animation, photography, sculpture, drawing and painting. This year\u2019s EMERGE exhibition has some particularly strong examples of portraiture, highlighting the artists\u2019 family, friends and heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emerge 26 will be on display on the King\u2019s Floor at The Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre from April 17 to May 3 and will culminate with a closing celebration on Thursday, April 30, at 5pm.<\/p>\n

The public are invited to attend this free event.<\/p>\n

The Riddoch is open to the public 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm weekends and most public holidays.<\/p>\n
