Young artists will share their life experiences in the latest exhibition in Broadmeadows.
Foyer the Place is on at Gallery HGLC and showcases works created by students living in the Broadmeadows, Glen Waverley and Shepparton Education First Youth Foyers.
Hume mayor Carly Moore encouraged the community to experience the exhibition which is on until December.
“Education First Youth Foyers is a vital service that helps young people break the cycle of homelessness by supporting them to lead independent and fulfilling lives,” Cr Moore said.
“The Foyer art exhibition is just one of many education and development pathways offered to the young people living at the Education First Youth Foyer.
“The exhibition presents themes that are highly personal, varying from the decorative to the symbolic, the humorous to the profound.
“Each work offers visitors a view and insight into the experiences of young people in our community, from many cultures and diverse backgrounds, who are developing independence and expressing their experiences creatively.”
Cr Moore said the exhibition includes art work that was made collaboratively in Foyer art workshops along with pieces that were produced independently or as part of the students’ course work.
