ASCENT 2026

Showcasing City of Melton’s top young creatives
From: 13 October 2026

Ascent 2026 is an exhibition showcasing art and design created by the City of Melton’s top young creatives.  Held at CS Gallery, emerging artists at the year 10 level working across drawing, painting, ceramics, mixed media and photography.

Ascent provides arts industry experience to young artists and encourages the leap into future studies and career pathways in the arts.

This exhibition uplifts, encourages and supports the exhibiting artists, whilst also providing a platform for the young voices within our municipality. Representing a range of ideas, Ascent is a celebration of the creativity, ingenuity, and unique perspectives of local emerging talent.   

We are inviting local schools to express interest in nominating their top students from the 2026 Year 10 class to participate in a professional exhibition experience during October through to November at CS Gallery, located at the Caroline Springs Library and Learning Hub.
