As part of their Foundation Diploma in Art & Design at The Island VI Form, students recently exhibited their work at the Independent Arts Gallery in the centre of Newport. The exhibition was both exciting and thought provoking.

A private view was well-attended by family, friends, tutors, governors and members of the Island’s art community. There was a broad range of disciplines on show including; painting, printing, costume design and film.

The students have rightly been commended for their high quality outcomes, as well as the diversity in their themes.

The show will now travel to the Arch Window Gallery in Ryde where the work will continue to inspire and impress visitors over the summer.

Course leaders and tutors would like to express many thanks to all at Independent Arts for their help in the success of this event, and in advance to the curators of the Arch Window Gallery where the students’ work can be viewed up until 16 August.
