ARTEXPRESS hours 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday, COFA Exhibition and Performance Spaces.

COFA once again is proud to host the very popular ARTEXPRESS exhibition the annual showcase of artworks made by New South Wales Higher School Certificate students.

Each year ARTEXPRESS @ COFA is a testament to the strength and creativity of the teaching and learning of visual culture in New South Wales.

This year ARTEXPRESS @ COFA presents a selection of exceptional works submitted by Visual Art students who sat for the 2005 Higher School Certificate in a diverse range of media and forms and includes a display of Visual Arts Process Diaries along with special floor talks led by COFA third year Art Education students.

The diversity and conceptual strength of the bodies of works produced by HSC students in New South Wales has special significance for the College of Fine Arts as our School of Art Education is about to host its 12th Occasional Seminar in Art, Design & Education: ‘Critical Junctures - ARTEXPRESS in the Public Domain.’

The Occasional seminar has been created to explore the role of ARTEXPRESS in relation to contemporary artistic practice, and the field of art & design education in Australia. Teachers, artists, critics and theorists including; Hossein Valamanesh (artist), Lesley Brown (the coordinator of Artexpress), Anne Loxley, (curator and critic) Kathleen McPhillips (Senior Lecturer in Social & Cultural Analysis, University of Western Sydney) and Marian Strong (the steering committee of the National Review of Visual Education) will present their experiences and insights into the public exhibition of artworks produced in an educational setting.
