Showcase of student artwork exhibited at public art exhibition

An incredible array of student artwork was exhibited at a public artwork art exhibition last month. The weekend event took place at The Sessions House in Spalding and featured works from our talented student artists as well as over 40 other local and established artists and sculptors.

This was a fantastic showcase of the diverse range of artwork our students produce with paintings, drawings, textiles, collages and sculptures that had been specially selected from the KS3, KS4 and KS5 students at Bourne Academy, Cowley Academy, Giles Academy and Spalding Academy.

It was an amazing opportunity for students from each of our schools to feature together at an exhibition for the first time and highlight the many styles and techniques taught on the art curriculum.

The feedback over both days was overwhelmingly positive as staff from the art department and our student artists were also in attendance to speak to members of the public as over 1,000 people visited the exhibition.

Rt Hon Sir John Hayes CBE MP attended the event and he said “What a wonderful array of works of art. They epitomised the marriage of unfettered imagination and outstanding talent. Thank you for giving me and many others so much pleasure.”
