Exeter School of Art launches a unique student recruitment campaign

Exeter School of Art has partnered with the marketing agency Astley Media to launch a new video-led campaign aimed at inspiring prospective students.   

The fast-paced film, showcasing work created by Exeter School of Art students, forms a part of the ‘Get Creative With Your Future’ digital campaign. 

The film provides a snapshot of the experiences and opportunities offered by the school. It explores all aspects of the Foundation Diploma and Degree courses while communicating the many benefits of studying at Exeter. 

The Gold-Standard accredited school is the perfect environment for kick-starting a career in the creative industries. 

Exeter School of Art offers students the authentic art school experience through a variety of creative disciplines, from Graphic communication to film and TV production. The school provides students with access to experienced teacher practitioners. Additionally, the smaller class sizes help students flourish and get the support they deserve. With 18 studios, workshops, the latest tech and even a TV studio, Exeter School of Art are also able to compete with similar, but larger, art schools.  

The one-year Foundation Diploma in Art & Design enables students to study multiple disciplines while deciding on their preferred area of specialism and refining their skills. A high number of previous students have gone on to study at the prestigious London art schools.

For prospective students interested in gaining real-world practical experience, specific to their chosen careers, the Foundation Degrees offer access to major employers and industry practitioners.  

The two-year courses, offered in Fine Art, Film & TV Production, Graphic Communications and Photography, enables students to decide at a later date whether they wish to progress the course to BA Hons level at the University of Plymouth or enter the world of work with a vocational qualification.  

Exeter College Head of Art and Design Nigel Watts said, “The ‘Get Creative With Your Future’ campaign is a great way of showcasing all that Exeter School of Art has to offer, in a fun and engaging way. We hope it really resonates with prospective students, who are probably swamped with the more standard university or college information and prospectus!”

Art students’ work revealed in Exeter city centre as lockdown eases

From Monday 29 June – Thursday 16 July 2020, as the Exeter city centre opens up after lockdown, more than 30 students studying at Exeter School of Art will help to bring the city to life, as they show their most recent artwork to the public.   

Exeter School of Art may be the only college in the country where art students are exhibiting their work in real spaces as well as the virtual space. Traditionally this is the time of year for graduating art students to exhibit their work; however, this year the vast majority of art schools across the country are making exhibitions online. Here in Exeter, dedicated students and staff from Exeter School of Art are brightening up the city as it wakes up after lockdown, and shoppers and workers will enjoy a more creative environment as they return to the city centre.    

Emily Gibbon, Manager of retail, culture, tourism and business support organisation InExeter, said: “It’s so exciting to see the city coming back to life, people adapting to the new measures and bringing a buzz to the place once again. Having these fabulous pieces of art by the Exeter School of Art and Design installed for people to see and enjoy will add to the atmosphere and experience of visiting the city. It’s a great use of space, and I can’t wait to see more innovative ideas around the city in the coming months.”  

The outstanding artwork on display in Paris Street, Awesome Art Space, and 6 Paris Street and Peacocks and Halfords in Sidwell Street was produced by Graphic Communication, Fine Art, and Photography students studying at University Level, as well as students on the Access to Higher Education (Art and Design) course.   

The work exhibited is also from students’ final projects from years 12 and 13. The majority of the work was produced during the lockdown, which influenced what some students produced. Students did not have access to the college’s facilities and resources. They, therefore, had to adapt their ideas and be even more creative with the materials and technology available to them at home.   

Presenting the finished work to the Exeter community is an exciting opportunity, particularly for students who were disappointed by the prospect of graduating without presenting their work in a professional way to the public.  

Nigel Watts, Head of the Art and Design faculty at the Exeter School of Art, said, “We are very proud of the students who have worked so hard from home in the recent months to produce the excellent work you will see in the show. It feels great that we have had the opportunity to exhibit their work at the end of this academic year, something that did not seem possible a few months ago.”  

Exeter College and the School of Art are very grateful for support from Awesome Art Space, Eat the Bird and Princesshay, in providing and helping them to access these exhibition spaces.    

Michelle Menezes, Centre Manager at Princesshay, said, “We are delighted to host Exeter College and the School of Art on Paris Street for this exciting exhibition. The talented students have worked so hard, through very difficult times, to create stunning, thought-provoking pieces. All the artwork can be seen from outside the store. Everyone is welcome to visit the inspiring exhibition.”  

Exeter School of Art is part of Exeter College, and the work on display is from students studying on courses validated by the University of Plymouth and AIM awards. Exeter College was awarded TEF Gold (Teaching Excellence Framework in 2019).  

Exeter School of Art is now recruiting for all of their creative courses for September 2020.
