Come celebrate with us at the Ventnor Exchange, an exhibition by the students of the Island Free School.
Students have been working with artist in residence, Teresa Grimaldi, to make imaginary biosphere beasties.
Teresa explained,
“The work in progress is an exciting exhibition of the students’ amazing creativity on their journey to presenting work to thousands of people at the Ventnor Fringe Festival.”

Celebrating the Biosphere
The creation of these imagined creatures are in celebration of the Isle of Wight becoming a UNESCO Biosphere reserve.
Year 10 student Vinny said,
“I am very excited to see the work that my fellow students have created.”
