Ripple Fest has teamed up with Council’s Youth Action Group (YAG) and The Foundry Arts Space to bring fresh creative energy to Echuca’s Arts Precinct. This youth-led art program is all about collaboration, giving emerging and mid-career artists Ruby Wyatt-Carter, Annelise Henderson, Ellen Lee and Jesse Munzel the chance to connect and create with the next wave of talent from Rochester and Echuca.

A vibrant fusion of visual storytelling is unfolding in the Pump House, our festival hub space, designed for connection, creativity and self-expression. The young creatives have named their endeavours the ‘Unearthed Youth Collective’.

These amazing young creatives are developing new work for their upcoming exhibition ‘Unearthed’ at The Foundry Arts Space from 2-25 May 2025.

The Foundry Arts Space Exhibition:
Friday 2 May from 5-7:30pm – The journey kicks off with their ‘Unearthed’ exhibition opening at setting the tone for Ripple Fest.

Arts Precinct Performance:
Sunday 25 May from 3-6pm – The ‘Unearthed Youth Collective’ program will culminate in a youth curated closing event, transforming the Arts Precinct into a laid-back, immersive creative hub.
