Students from North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College’s Hinckley campus will be showcasing their creative skills at an exhibition in the Atkins Gallery, based on Lower Bond Street..
The show, created by students who are studying art and design as well as media, TV and film, and higher education programmes, will run until Friday 31 January, with visitors encouraged to vote for their favourite artwork.
Visitors will be able to scan a QR code on their device to submit a vote online or leave a physical vote in the comment book. The three students responsible for the artworks with the most votes will win prizes for their creations.
Following the student show will be an exhibition from the Hinckley Campus Creative Arts teaching team, with the theme being Collaboration. This exhibition will run from February 10 until February 21 and will showcase the creative arts facilities available on the campus.
Carrie-Anne Abdulai, Assistant Principal at North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, said: “We are incredibly proud of the talent and hard work of our students and staff.
“These exhibitions are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their creativity and provide a glimpse into the vibrant student life at our Hinckley campus. I encourage everyone to visit the gallery and experience the incredible artwork on display.”
Deputy Council Leader and Executive Member for Culture at the Borough Council, Mark Bools, added: “This promises to be two fantastic exhibitions by both students and staff. The College has such a fantastic range of talent, and I urge people to go and see the creativity on display at both exhibitions.”
Atkins Gallery is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Additional evenings and weekend viewings will be posted on the Atkins Building website www.atkinsbuilding.co.uk/events and social media @AtkinsBuilding.
