Public Schools Art Festival
At Addi Road Community Organisation we are committed to supporting public education and creativity in the Inner West and across Sydney. That’s why we initiated the Public Schools Arts Festival in 2015.
This annual event gives budding artists in public schools to showcase their collaborative artwork – sculpture, drawing, video, painting, drama and music – in the professional exhibition and performance spaces we offer at Addi Road.
The Festival is possible because of the commitment of our partners: Inner West Teachers’ Association, Drawn To Seeing, music and art teachers and the students – who create fantastic artworks and performances each year.
Opening night
On our opening night, the Welcome to Country was delivered by Warren Roberts from YARN. Sam Mostyn, Rosanna Barbero (Addi Road CEO) and Kim Salisbury (Inner City Teachers’ Association president) made official speeches, and Burwood Girls’ High School Choir performed the National Anthem in Eora Language.
