Festival of the Arts

The Festival of the Arts (FOTA) is a vibrant celebration of creativity, community and connection. Set within our stunning Arts Precinct, the festival showcases an inspiring collection of artworks by professional artists and St Hilda’s students, with many pieces available for purchase.
This year, the Festival expands beyond the gallery to offer a rich program of hands‑on art and craft workshops, alongside opportunities to purchase beautiful handmade works, including art, crafts and jewellery.
Whether you’re discovering emerging talent, learning a new creative skill, or finding a one‑of‑a‑kind piece to take home, there’s something for everyone.
By celebrating artistic expression in all its forms, the Festival of the Arts also supports meaningful student and community initiatives through the St Hilda’s School Foundation, making creativity a powerful force for positive change.
