Exhibition to Celebrate Student Work at the Reigate School of Art

The College is delighted to be hosting an array of fantastic student work as part of the Reigate School of Art End of Year Exhibition.

Due to the changed circumstances we find ourselves in this year, the team have decided to hold the annual End of Year Exhibition for all our students online. Our record label, Neutral Ground Records will be hosting the event and all will be revealed online on Wednesday 17 June 2020 at 18:00.

The event will showcase a range of work spanning various disciplines including Art & Design, Photography, Music, Creative Media, Film, Games Design and Theatrical Make-Up. On display will be works from Level 1 to 5, alongside those on Part-time Leisure courses offered by the College.

Students were really positive about the changes to the event and shared feedback on how exciting it was for them to produce work to be displayed in this way:

“We not only survived lockdown, we also made the ordinary, extraordinary” – Art & Design Level 2

“…all of the support and information we have needed has been there through the use of Microsoft Teams, and it has also led to more creative thinking in terms of what the projects have entailed, and how it will be represented/received....” - Foundation Art & Design

“Having college every week has helped me a huge amount during this lockdown, as it helps give a sense of time passing and things moving, and stops every day being exactly the same, which could lead to us feel trapped in a loop. Talking to teachers and classmates on Teams has helped me feel far less isolated in shielding and has helped me to be motivated to do things with my time instead of letting myself get too overwhelmed by the situation. My teachers have offered a lot of support with one-to-ones and checking in on me and my fellow classmates to make sure we're not only on track but to also make sure that we are okay overall. “ – Film Level 3

Jo Fenwick, Director of Learning, Reigate School of Art comments:

“Throughout the Covid-19 situation our team have worked tirelessly to ensure that all students continue to be able to access learning and the support of our staff and their fellow students. We are so excited to be able to offer this opportunity to exhibit, in what is a unique time, so that students don’t miss out on the excitement of showcasing their work to the public. Their tenacity to deliver this project has been outstanding and we look forward to sharing their creative process and styles across multiple pathways”
