Our Open Day on Saturday went well, with lots of visitors having a look around our studios and lots of questions from prospective students who have the tough decision of what to study at College. It was great to see one of our ex-students who popped in to show her younger sibling around.

BBC iPlayer is always a good source for research and inspiration. This show looks particularly good especially for Fine Art and Art Foundation Students.

Who's Afraid of Conceptual Art

Today, our Art Foundation students have been getting experimental with some large expressive mark-making.

A big welcome to new A1 students and to our returning A2 students. To help you get into the creative swing again, here are some links to art events and exhibitions which are going on in Manchester. Hopefully you will find something which will inspire you to create wonderful things.

2016 End of Year Show

Great night last night at our End of Year Show. It's really exciting to see all our students work displayed all together in one place. You get a real idea of how far our A-level students have come on their creative journey over their two years with us. Also, congratulations to our first ever Foundation Year who put on a fantastic show.

The Art Foundation students are working hard this week putting together their end of year exhibition which involved erecting large exhibition boards made from 4ft x 8ft chipboard and a ton of white paint. We can't wait to see all of their work installed in this new space.
