Art Education Victoria, in partnership with the Department of Education Victoria, invites Foundation to Level 10 students in Victorian Government schools to create artworks celebrating meaningful relationships and connections—the ‘bridges’—between themselves and others in their community.

After completing the project, each school is encouraged to celebrate their students’ work by holding their own local exhibitions.

An online educator’s workshop to support delivery of The Bridges Between Us art project was held on Thursday 19 March 2026, from 4–5:30pm. We encourage all educators to watch the session prior to implementing the project in their school. You can watch a recording of the session by visiting the link below:

Teacher Kits include the following:

  • Lesson plans: 6-week program for primary and 5-week program for secondary levels, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 – Visual Arts and VTLM 2.0.
  • Artist case studies: 7 diverse examples showcasing artists whose work explores connection and community.
