Insert Title Here includes work from 21 students from Dubbo and Mudgee in the graphic design, drawing, photography and printmaking courses.
Graphic design students Veronica Hyland and Josh Memorey are the only two who created art works across four categories: graphic design, drawing, printing and photography.

"It's actually relieving to get to the end," Ms Hyland said.
"But at the same time I look at it and I think I'm pretty proud of everything. I look back at the time when I was struggling and thought I was never going to get this done, but now you realise you did a lot."
It has been a busy time for the students. For most, the artwork on display is the culmination of the entire year's work.
"We've been here four days a week and the expectation from each discipline is to go home and put in as many hours as what you've done in the class. The time management for both of us at times was hard," Ms Hyland said.
But both students will graduate at the end of this year.
Mr Memorey is hoping to start his own graphic design business.
The diploma was the start of a career change from Essential Energy.
"I've always been interested in tattoos and graphics so I took it further," Mr Memorey said.
Ms Hyland also plans to have a career in graphic design.
"I did visual merchandising years ago and graphic design was never offered back then. If it had been I would have done it back in the '90s. I was looking for something creative as well as something that could be a job," she said.
The exhibition will be one of the final tasks for the students. For many, it will also be an opportunity to sell their work.
"I haven't got prices on a lot of my work because a lot of it was personal stuff that I'm attached to. I think that's the thing with each of the artists, they've probably got some work for sale and some work that has been quite personal," Ms Hyland said.
The student art exhibition will be held at the TAFE NSW Dubbo Myall Street campus on Saturday, November 23 from 6pm. Insert name Here will be held in F block. Entry will be via Myall Street.
Refreshments will be served.
The artworks can also been seen from November 25 to 29 between 10am and 4pm.
TAFE NSW is currently taking enrollments for a range of art and design courses for the first semester of 2020.
More information is available on the TAFE NSW website.
