About Our Gallery
The Neutral Bay Public School Online Art Gallery is a space dedicated to the exhibition of student artwork. It provides a platform for our students to celebrate their visual arts practice and to receive positive recognition while learning at home.
We are committed to the exhibition of works by a cross-section of students, varying ages, year levels and diversity of needs. Success looks different for every child. If you would like your child's artwork to be included in our Online Art Gallery, please send a photo of your child's artwork to neutralbay-p.schools.nsw.gov.au Note that we are unable to showcase the artworks of students who do not have publishing permission. Please contact the school to update this information. Please do not copy or distribute any images that appear on this page. |
