Art & Design Exhibition
ArtsEdge at Locksley was completely transformed for the Year 7-11 Art and Design Exhibition which officially opened on Wednesday 27 July. It was a feast of colour and innovation with unique student artworks covering every available surface.
The exhibition was officially opened by Ms Alexia Petsinis a past student (alumni 2011) who is currently working in the fashion industry as a freelance creative illustrator, writer, blogger and designer. Alexia shared her career highlights and acknowledged Ivanhoe Grammar School’s role in providing a supporting foundation for where she is today.
