Gallery Takeover | Enter the Unknown
Now in its 19th year, Step into the Limelight 2025 invites you to Enter the Unknown —a bold and imaginative exploration of mystery, curiosity, and possibility through the eyes of Canberra’s K–12 public school artists.
Across our three gallery spaces and Chutespace, Step into the Limelight highlights the talent, imagination, and diverse perspectives of the next generation of artists while celebrating the value of creative learning in education.
From abstract interpretations of space and time to deeply personal reflections on change, fear, and discovery, these works showcase the incredible creativity and courage of young people stepping into new territory.
Expect a dynamic and diverse collection of paintings, sculpture, digital art, textiles, and mixed media pieces that push the boundaries of what is familiar and celebrate the beauty of the unexpected.
……….
Exhibition runs from Friday 13 June - Sunday 29 June 2025.
Gallery opening times: Wednesday to Sunday, 12 - 5pm.
M16 Artspace operates on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. We honour and pay our respects to their traditional custodians. We acknowledge this land always was and always will be the country of Australia’s First Nations People. Sovereignty was never ceded.
