The 2024 A4Art Prize has once again sparked a surge of creativity across our 6 St Agnes’ Parish Schools, with over 480 participants: 

• representing more than 10% of the student body; and 
• contributing to the event, marking yet another year of growth.

The calibre of artworks in this year’s competition is truly outstanding. There are a diverse array of genres, from painting and drawing, to origami, digital art and 3D works, each accompanied by thoughtful artist statements. It's remarkable to see such a wide range of creativity stemming from a humble A4 sheet of paper.

After careful consideration by expert judges, 143 finalists were chosen across 14 categories spanning from Kindergarten to Year 12, along with a special category for St Agnes’ Education Staff. This number includes artworks that have also been chosen as Packing Room Finalists, a category created to highlight outstanding pieces that may not have made it to the finalist stage but were recognized by the Creative Arts Nest Team.

The A4Art Pop-Up Exhibition here at Joey's this week was filled with enthusiasm from all the students and staff who visited the display ready to judge the art and vote for their favourite. A busy 2 days with lots of talks and discussions about the artworks, art in general and lots of other interesting topics.
