Don’t miss art exhibition of imaginary Biosphere beasties at Ventnor Exchange

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.”
