About the exhibition

SAM Fresh is our annual open-call youth arts exhibition that celebrates our
region’s emerging young creatives. Featuring the artworks of twenty
artists aged 16-25 living, working and studying across the Goulburn Valley
and Hume regions, the artists of Fresh 2024 navigate themes of identity,
personal relationships, and the natural world, presenting a perspective of
our region and modern society as seen by the next generation.

Through the generous support of La Trobe University, a cash prize of $1,500
will be awarded to the Fresh 2024 artist whose entry displays high artistic
merit, demonstrated by their creativity, technical proficiency, and overall
aesthetic quality. Additionally, visitors can vote for their preferred Fresh
2024 artwork in the People’s Choice Award over the course of the
exhibition, the winner of which will receive a cash prize of $500.
