The Art and Design faculty runs an annual competition for schools to showcase the best work produced by their young talented art students in our gallery space. This year it will include Tiverton High School, Blundell’s School, Torquay Academy, St James School and the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education. We are looking forward to see what they come up with.

This project was established to celebrate the artistic talent within schools in Devon. Selected pupils representing their school have the opportunity to exhibit in the Yard Gallery, meet existing art students at the college and get a feel for what it would be like to study Art. Students will be invited to a private view along with their friends and family to celebrate their inclusion in the exhibition. There will be a prize for the best piece of art on display.

Helen Burak, Deputy Head of Art and Design said:

The aim of this project is to inspire and engage school pupils to aspire to the creative arts as a possible progression choice; to help bridge the gap between School and College and to reward the fantastic creative talents we have in our local schools.”

Thursday 2nd Feb – Thursday 9th February: Open to the public 10am-6pm
