JOY
Featuring work by local young artists and special guests.
20 Nov - 24 Dec 2025
Earlier this year, we circulated an open call for young artists under 15 who wanted to part of a Christmas exhibition called JOY.
More than 30 young people responded; 21 were shortlisted for exhibition, including Charlotte Rabie, pictured, with Bubbling Emotion (acrylic on canvas, 60cm x 50cm).
JOY celebrates young people’s distinct styles. It’s an exhibition of art, colour, energy, vision and joy.
We invited Luke Baker to participate as a special guest. Luke won the 2025 Luminance Young & Emerging Artists Prize (age category 15 - 25).
Come and experience JOY at Luminance from 20 November until 24 December 2025.
Opening celebration is Friday 5 Dec 2025 from 3.30pm. We would love to see you here.
