    A virtual exhibition presented by B’nai B’rith Victoria 

    The 26th Annual B’nai B’rith Jewish Youth Art Competition and exhibition aims to develop and enhance the artistic abilities of youth aged 11 to 18. This important annual exhibition showcases the innovative artworks created by talented Jewish youth, including drawings, paintings, multimedia, sculpture, digital media and photography.

    This year, due to the extended lockdown, the exhibition offers you the opportunity to explore the many fantastic artworks by talented Jewish students through a 'virtual gallery experience' from the comfort of your home. The prize winners — selected by a panel of well-known professionals — were announced by members of the B’nai B’rith organising committee on Sunday 25 July.

    Entries from 153 students are displayed in three virtual galleries in the categories of:

    • painting and drawing
    • sculpture
    • mixed media and photography

    The competition patron is Lady Anna Cowen AM. The exhibition is divided into three age groups, 11 to 13, 14 to 15, 16 to 18, with entries in all categories from various private, public, and independent schools. The photography section is only open to the 16 to 18 age group. 

    Explore this fascinating exhibition virtually from your home until Sunday 8 August.
