We sent Sixth Form student Hannah Mew into Newport last week to check out some of the exhibitions on offer. Here’s what she thought of the pop-up gallery on Newport High Street. Ed
I stepped into this exhibition preparing myself to be touched by the artwork that had be produced by students not much younger than myself (Year 11, 15-16 year olds).
While looking around at the students’ work (from Carisbrooke College and Sandown Bay Academy) I could feel the real sense of support and standing together that the students were trying to portray.
No need to stand alone
Each piece of work I looked at was different from the previous one, showcasing a variety of feelings and emotions – however still getting across the clear message that no suffers need stand alone and that there’s support available.
The exhibition showcased a collection of truly beautiful, heart touching work, all by students who have a clear passion, and feel strongly about the subject.
Not only that, but it is raising money for a fantastic cause too!
Take a look at the exhibition between 10am and 4pm from Tuesday 27th November – 7th December at 143 High Street, Newport (former Island Images café).
