VCE KickstART 2026

SATURDAY 14 FEBRUARY 2026

INSPIRATION AND INSIGHTS TO HELP YOU GET AHEAD 

KickstART is a student driven program that ArtEdVic presents in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) to support VCE Art Creative Practice and VCE Art Making and Exhibiting students and educators. Hear from NGV Top Arts exhibitors, high achieving students and the Top Arts curator to help current students gain inspiration and insight into VCE this year.

We are seeking students from each subject area (VCE Art Creative Practice & VCE Art Making and Exhibiting) to present their folios at our event on Sat 14 February 2026 at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).

Past students will take the audience on a tour of their year 12 studies using PowerPoint slides of their folios alongside commentary. Student presenters will share advice, tips and tricks they picked up along the way and any insights they think are vital in achieving success in the SAT folio. 

Applications are now open for high-achiving VCE Students. We encourage educators to nominate students by filling out an application: HERE
