Three of Nuriootpa High School’s 2025 graduates have had their work selected for the much-revered SACE Art Show.

The annual show, which has been presented for more than 40 years, showcases the works of recently graduated Stage 2 Visual Art and Visual Design students from South Australian public, independent and Catholic.

In 2026 the SACE Board selected 142 student works from over 1000 state-wide nominations. Selected Nuriootpa High School student works include:

• Hidden Beneath the Skin: Grief, Burnout, Deception & Rage by Paige Schulz – a lino print series exploring emotions through surrealism.
• Mon Historie en Fleurs by Ellouise Porcelli – a mixed media piece (lino prints, pencil and paint) which draws on the Victorian-era language of flowers to express aspects of self.
• Natures Imitate Life by Regan Marks – an acrylic on canvas work which expresses idea of hidden details in both nature and life.

“The SACE Art Show amplifies their [student] voices on issues that matter to them most,” says SACE Board Chief Executive, Hassan Mekawy.

Showing at the Adelaide College of the Arts Light Square Gallery, the 2026 SACE Art Show is open to the public Monday to Saturday (except public holidays) until 10 April and can also be viewed online. Find out more at sace.sa.edu.au/events/art-show
