Arundel Museum presents its Summer Exhibition 2019 of artworks created by students aged 15 -18 years, all of whom who attend local secondary schools.
The museum are delighted to welcome as curator of the exhibition Oliver Hawkins, former Dean of Higher Education, who will open the Private View on 6th August at 4 pm.
The participating schools are: Bishop Luffa CE School, Chichester High School, Lancing College, Slindon College, St. Philip Howard Catholic High School and The Chichester Free School.
The pressure of end of year examinations and external moderation has not deterred the teachers from promoting their students’ work and all were keen to be part of this unique show. The individually chosen 80 GCSE and A level examination pieces that form the exhibition have been selected from more than 1000 artworks.
The exhibition in Arundel Museum’s Jubilee Gallery runs from Wednesday 7th August until Sunday 1st September and is open every day from 10am to 4pm. It is also part of Arundel Festival and Arundel Art Trail which takes place during the exhibition period.
Museum Trustee Suzanne Evans says, ‘This is our fifth annual Summer Exhibition, we are again amazed by the standard of work produced by the students. There is a real treat in store, not to be missed, for everyone who has the opportunity to see the young artists’ work – they are truly inspirational pieces’
