2009 Nagoya Art Exchange

About the Nagoya Art Exchange

The Sister and Friendship City Children's Art and Calligraphy Exhibition is an annual international art exhibition in Nagoya, Japan. Artworks from Nagoya, Sydney, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Ninjing will be displayed.

 

Students and schools receive a significant amount of recognition by participating in and exhibition such as this. It also provides a wonderful opportunity for students to participate in international friendship and cultural exchange activities, which in turn promotes the further development of sister city relationships.

 

Government schools are invited to submit up to four (4) artworks only for selection that emphasise aspects of the student's personal world and depict the uniqueness of life in Australia and reflect the quality of Visual Arts Education in our schools.

 

The successful entries will be published into a catalogue.  This will be distributed to all participating schools, accompanied by a certificate for the student.

 

Students' works selected for the Sister and Friendship City Children's Arts and Calligraphy Exhibition will not be returned.  These students will instead receive a complimentary colour copy of their entry.
