Art final year degree show pollinates success

30 May 2007

Students at the North Wales School of Art and Design are gearing up for their Final Year Art Show which attracts talent scouts from the art industry. The show is always a highlight in the NEWI calendar and this year promises to be no exception with examples of outstanding work being shown.

The exhibition which this year is entitled ‘Pollinators’ is based at North Wales School of Art and Design on Regent Street, Wrexham and is open to the public from Monday 4th June. For the first time the show will run for almost a month until 29th June from 9.30am until 5pm on weekdays and 10am – 3.30pm on Saturday 9th June.

Work will be shown by students that have been studying a variety of art undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the North Wales School of Art and Design, specialising in the applied arts, fine art and design subjects. The show is packed with an exciting range of work including painting and drawing, printmaking sculpture, glass, video and installation.

All students are encouraged to learn about their professional environment, from self-employment and self-promotion to taxation and selling their work through exhibitions.

“By the time they leave here students know what it means to be a professional artist,” says John McClenaghen, Subject Leader in Fine Art. We believe it’s important to equip our students with the skills they need to make their way in a competitive world.”
