Creative Youth Initiatives (CYI) will be holding their annual ARTWORKS! exhibition from Tuesday 8th December - Friday 11th December at “The Muse”, TAFE Ultimo, 695 - 731 Harris Street, Ultimo.
CYI is a unique service for young people, aged 16 - 25 years who are facing many and varied challenges in their lives, such as homelessness, mental health issues, substance abuse, family breakdown and unemployment. CYI programs develop creativity through visual arts and music, as well as improving self expression and self esteem. Students progress at their own pace in a safe, non-judgmental and supported environment.
The exhibition is the culmination of many months of work by ARTWORKS! students, who have all been busy exploring different mediums of art such as concertina books, making masks from recycled cardboard, monotone paintings, papier-mâché sculptures, creating images using text, calico stuffed sculpture animals and continuous line drawings.
Come along and bring your wallet as you are sure to find something you will want to take home with you, maybe a Christmas gift for yourself or a friend! The gallery is open at “The Muse”, TAFE Ultimo, 695 - 731 Harris Street, Ultimo, from 9.30am to 4.00pm from Wednesday 9th - Friday 11th December, with the opening night on Tuesday 8th December.
