Burton College at Free Range 2010

This was Burton College's first time at the Free Range Art and Design Show. I was displaying photographs from my 'Vote for Ruth' project as a part of this. Easily the biggest exhibition that any of us had been involved in, I think most of us underestimated how much there was to do. Preparations and putting everything up was as equally manic as the opening night. Still it was all good fun and certainly an invaluable experience.

Ruth Smeeth, the focus of my project came along too.
 

       

End of Year Exhibition 2009



Tonight saw Burton College hold the opening night of their annual end of year exhibition. The exhibition showcases work from all of the Visual Arts courses, including graphic design, fine art, fashion, illustration, web design and photography amongst others.

It was a busy affair with many students, parents and guests in attendance. Many were obviously impressed with what they saw. It was encouraging to see so much really good stuff and hear the positive comments.

If you're in the area it's worth going to have a look around and see the art young people are creating today.

The exhibition is held at Burton College, Staffordshire (map) from Tuesday 16th June until Thursday 25th June. Opening times will be from 10am to 8pm Monday to Thursday, 10am to 4:30pm on Fridays and 10am to 4pm on Saturday.
