Step into The Limelight
Step into the Limelight (SITL), the Territory’s creative and performing arts showcase event for public schools, began in 2007 and has grown to become the largest youth Arts event in the ACT. More than 1800 students from over 65 public schools will work closely with their teachers, professional artists, tertiary institutions and arts organisations to develop outstanding artistic works for two events: the Art Exhibition and Gala Showcase.
The aims of Step into the Limelight are:
- Promote ACT Public education through the Creative Arts.
- Showcase a range of quality artworks inclusive of all school sectors.
- Provide enriched learning experiences for students.
- Provide quality teacher professional development through collaboration.
An annual theme is chosen to inspire the creation of works in various forms - dance, circus, theatre, song, music, and film. It is hoped that the theme can be meaningfully tied into curriculum or assessment items.
The theme for the Step into the Limelight Art Exhibition and Gala Showcase in 2025 will be decided in consultation with a team of SITL student ambassadors in Term 4, 2024.
Key Step into the Limelight dates for 2025:
Art Exhibition: TBC
