ArtHive: Exhibition and Awards Evening 2016

The exhibition this year has been one of the biggest to date, with every single corner of the art rooms being used as residence for the finest work our students had to offer, and oh my, it was absolutely stunning!! Well done to everyone involved in this exhibition this year. It was such a big task and everyone did a smashing job, so good on you all!!

Both staff and students have been working tirelessly to make this look as fab as possible and it really paid off. And hats off to the students in our department who have done two endorsements and produced two superb exhibitions, one exhibition space is difficult it enough as it is!
You have all put a tremendous amount of effort into this and without you, there would be no beautiful exhibition for us to show off, so thank you.

The feedback from parents and other staff members around the college has been wonderful, saying that the students work looks amazing, professional, and that the exhibition as a whole is magnificent!

So last Tuesday (21st June) we hosted the ever exciting exhibition evening which, as promised, consisted of lots of yummy food, drinks and prizes. Here are the students we felt deserved some extra recognition for their efforts this year:
