Contributing artists from Tea Gardens and across the state will display their works alongside the works of students in the show, from Friday, April 18, to Monday, April 21.
Commissions from the sale of contributed works, student art sales and entry fees will help fund new equipment for the school.
"Last year we raised $14,500, it's a major fund-raiser," the school's Parents and Citizens group (P&C) president Karen Stewart-Katz said.
Mrs Stewart-Katz said contributor works sometimes sold for thousands of dollars.
All 240 students from kindergarten to grade six will get involved.
Each class is given a theme and is to create a collaborative artwork. Individuals will make their own art or craft piece which can be purchased for about $5.
The class works will be auctioned off on April 17 at 6.30pm.
Entry on the night is $20 and entry to the art show will be $2.
Children can visit for free.
