Culture of Youth Art – Ongoing Exhibitions

Erina Rotary Club has again coordinated the exhibition of contemporary artworks by local High School students from Erina and Terrigal as a part of the celebration of Youth Services month in the Rotarian calendar. Supported by Central Coast Council, the exhibition aims to showcase the cutting-edge creativity and culture of our local young people. The exhibition focuses on the use of mixed media and technology to support their self-expression and creative endeavours. This year (2026) the public have had the chance to vote for their favourite artwork in a ‘People’s Choice’ Award, using the QR code by the picture. The competition is sponsored by Eckersley’s, the national art supplies retailers, the artist with the most votes will win a $50 gift card and art supplies. Highly commended will receive a $50 gift card. And there is a voter prize of a $50 Erina Fair voucher. 

Erina Rotary Club’s Youth Director, Fiona Morrison explained “Imagine: Unite for Good is the theme of Rotary this year and has been an inspiration for the wonderful works we see at the exhibition.” She added  “These young artists have shared their perspective of the world around them in both an abstract and more traditional style.”

See below some of the amazing works from the 2026 exhibition, and scroll down for previous year’s highlights.
