Over fifty Swindon College School of Art students will be showcasing their talents at ‘Fresh’ the Graduate Art show, in the Mulberry Building, Kembrey Park Industrial Estate this year.
‘Fresh’ will represent the work of our undergraduate and post-graduate students and it will encompass the fine art show ’11 degrees.’ Bernadette Carey, Estate Manager of Kembrey Park said: ”We are pleased to welcome Swindon College School of Art back again this year. The show was a great success last year and a lot of the occupiers were very impressed with the diversity of the student’s exhibitions on our preview evening. We are looking forward to seeing what the students have put together for their shows this year.”
The first exhibition of work on display will be by the degree level students who have been studying the BA (Hons) Graphic Design, BA (Hons) Fine Art : Drawing for Fine Art Practice, the BA (Hons) Illustration (Narrative and Sequential), HND Photography programmes. Postgraduate work will be represented by the MA / PGDip Archaeological Illustration course.
Greg Rendell, School of Art Section Leader said: ”As a venue the Mulberry Building is an excellent showcase for our graduate students. Kembrey Park and Swindon College School of Art are two of Swindon’s ‘best kept secrets’ and we would like to take this opportunity to display a side of Swindon that is not always seen; Contemporary Creativity.”
The Graduate Show opens with a Private View and will be open to employers and the wider community of artists . It will be open to the public from 10am – 8pm on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th June, 11- 4pm on Saturday 12th June and 10-4pm Monday 14th June.
