An Embodied Nexus: The Menagerie

Campaspe Shire Council is supporting the next generation of local creatives through the Unearthed Youth Arts Program 2026, a creative development initiative that will culminate in a public exhibition at The Foundry Arts Space Echuca. The program brought together young artists Elijah Beriman, Ayden Freestone, Emily Burgess, Jessica Knight, Oliva Lees and Saylah Tarrant for a series of creative gatherings, professional artist-led workshops and collaborative art-making opportunities throughout 2026.

A vibrant exhibition born from collaboration and creative experimentation. These young artists bring characters and creatures to life through artwork and animation.

The Foundry Arts Space is a volunteer-run, community gallery situated in the historic port precinct of Echuca.
