ARTEXPRESS Virtual will launch in June 2025 and Kate's work will be displayed in one of eight exhibits hosted all over NSW during 2025. Congratulations to Kate on this wonderful achievement.

It will be showcased with other major projects from around NSW at Gallery 76 (76 Queen Street, Concord West) from 2 March - 24 April 2025.

Showcase Nominations

ARTEXPRESS

Ivy Hawker's Body of Work was nominated for Art Express 2024. Ivy can be very proud of an extremely high standard of work in achieving an nomination for ARTEXPRESS.

Ivy’s work, “Deadly Brews”, takes a refreshingly irreverent look at truancy, energy drinks with preposterous claims, and the iconic “sickie”! Ivy asks the audience: "Do youever feel like you just need a day off? Well, I have created “Deadly Brews” to help you out with just that. My body of work is a collection of drinks, infused with various viruses, and bacterial infections to get you out of all kinds of occasions."
