Sugar Store | Tue-Sat, 11am-5pm | Free
Our annual Young Artist Open Exhibition is an opportunity for any young local artists, aged 4-18yrs, to showcase their creative talents in Brewery Arts Sugar Store Gallery.
The theme for this year’s Young Artist Open is ‘Adventures’ – big quests, small discoveries, real life, or fantasy worlds. Adventures celebrates the excitement of exploring the unknown. We invite local young artists to submit artwork that captures curiosity, bravery, imagination, and the joy of trying something new.
Selected works will be exhibited in the Brewery Arts Sugar Store Gallery from 31 July to 31 October 2026.
