We are delighted to announce that 19 students and one teacher from Welight Art School have been selected as finalists in the prestigious Mosman Youth Art Prize 2025. Their artworks will be exhibited at the Mosman Art Gallery for a month, celebrating artistic excellence among emerging young creatives.

Among this year’s highlights, a group of Welight students was awarded Second Prize in the Junior Category for a remarkable series of three handscroll paintings illustrating treasured moments from Chinese history. Another student received a Highly Commended Award for an expressive acrylic painting, also in the Junior Category.

Established in 1947, the Mosman Art Prize is one of Australia’s longest-running and most respected local government art awards. The youth division continues to nurture the next generation of artists, attracting hundreds of submissions across diverse media including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video, printmaking, and ceramics.

We are immensely proud of our students for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the Australian art community. Their dedication, creativity, and artistic vision exemplify the core values we foster at Welight.

Congratulations to all selected artists — your success is a testament to your talent and hard work.
