Welcome to Asthma Australia’s Digital Art Gallery
This vibrant collection showcases artworks created by primary school students who are championing support for their peers living with asthma. Through creative expression, these young artists are helping to raise awareness, reduce stigma around asthma medicines, and promote inclusion in everyday activities.
The gallery is part of a broader initiative inspired by conversations with children living with asthma, who voiced the need for greater understanding and empathy from their classmates. In response, we developed classroom art activities that empower students to learn, create, and advocate.
Get Involved!
Teachers can access free lesson plans to guide their students in creating meaningful artwork. Submissions are welcome from schools across the country, and we’ll be announcing exciting competitions and opportunities for live events soon—so stay tuned!
Together, we can inspire change and celebrate creativity in support of kids living with asthma.
