Celebrating Melton’s young artists

The talents and creativity of Melton’s youth is on full show in Caroline Springs, with a broad range of media on exhibit.

Hosted at the CS Gallery until 12 December, Ascent 2025 is an exhibition showcasing art and design created by some of the municipality’s talented local artists.

The works have been created by emerging artists from Year 10 from various schools in the area, with works include drawings, paintings, ceramics, mixed media and photography.

The student arts exhibition aims to provide arts industry experience to young artists and encourages the leap into future studies and career pathways in the arts.

According to Melton, the exhibition uplifts, encourages and supports the exhibiting artists, while also providing a platform for the young voices within our municipality.

Representing a range of ideas, Ascent is a celebration of the creativity, ingenuity, and unique perspectives of local emerging talent.

Ascent 2025 opened on 6 October and will run until 12 December at CS Gallery, 193-201 Caroline Springs Boulevard, Caroline Springs.

Entry is free, and a full list of opening times for CS Gallery can be viewed online.
