The School of Performing and Creative Arts will be holding their annual Artweek when Art & Design students celebrate their achievements by displaying their work. The design for this year’s event was produced by Lewis McPherson, a second year student on the BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design, and is based on a swan. He felt that this image would be entirely appropriate given the college move to Swanswell!

The event will be launched by the Principal, Paul Taylor and Vince Brosnan the Head of Performing & Creative Arts on the evening of Monday 22nd June in the foyer of Swanswell South Centre. The college is looking forward to the occasion as it will be the first to be held at the new site.

Also at the launch and the following day there will be a sale of prints in Student Services to raise money for the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) to commemorate Nick Jarram. Nick was previously a photography student at the college who unfortunately died in March, earlier this year.

Exhibitions of Art & Design work will be displayed in the Art & Design studios at Swanswell South Centre throughout the week from Monday 22ndJune from 10.00am – 4.00pm each day.

One of the main highlights of the event is held in Studio 1, a performing arts studio when the fashion students hold four Fashion Shows to demonstrate their achievements in the most professional and appropriate way.

The shows will be held over two days, 24th and 25th June, with afternoon performances at 2.30pm followed by the evening performances at 7.30pm.

Tickets for the 2.30pm show are free on request, telephone Arts admin 02476791505.

Tickets for the 7.30pm show are £2.50 and on sale at the college reception in the Swanswell South Centre.

Please come along and support this event.
