The exhibition explores different aspects of dining from a variety of different starting points. Students have produced work in a range of disciplines from drawing and printing to sculpture and photography. Students in Year 10 and 12 had the exciting opportunity to work with printmaking artists Paul Sharrock and Annette Rolston from Designermakers21, kindly paid for by the grant we received from Diss Arts Society. Exploring the contemporary lithography process producing prints inspired by ‘Willow Pattern’ tableware designs. The food related works exhibited in the gallery tempt with their mouth watering juicy colours and patterns; with unexpected changes in scale and form. Each collaboration demonstrates how student work can be displayed
as a collective yet with individual designs images that are both distinctive and eye-catching.
This curated arrangement of artworks, titled, The Dining Project, establishes the important relationship we have with food, routines and experiences that we share with friends and family. The exhibition showcases exciting new work while continuing to develop and establish the important relationship we have within the art and local community.
Upcoming Exhibition
Being Woman
Exhibition opens on International Women’s Day, March 8th
This exhibition brings together work from a number of intergenerational female artists, who have a connection through friendship and professional collaboration, under the theme ‘Being Woman’. Through a variety of mediums from sculpture, textiles, ceramics,
printmaking, drawing, painting, video and collage, each artist explores the histories and subjectivities of what it is to be ‘woman’. Taking inspiration from the natural world, powerful queens and goddesses, female archetypes and the human condition, the exhibition crosses borders of both subject matter and intergenerational boundaries, presenting the work of each female artist at various points in their life and practice.
Throughout the year our gallery showcases work by both international and emerging artists as well as exhibitions exploring local heritage.
We are generally closed on Sunday and public holidays.
