Coastland College is inviting all to explore the creativity, innovation and technical skill of its art students in their end-of-year exhibition ‘Chromatic Collective’.
Taking place from June 16th to 18th at the College’s Weymouth campus, the exhibition will showcase final projects from students studying across a range of creative disciplines, providing a professional platform for emerging artists, designers and makers to present their work to the public.
The exhibition will feature a broad range of work from students across all the College’s creative arts courses – from A Level and Level 2 full time courses in art and photography, to Foundation Degree.
Visitors can expect to see an inspiring and diverse collection of work spanning fine art, photography, sculpture, textiles and installation, reflecting the individuality, ambition and creative journeys of the students behind each piece.
‘Chromatic Collective’ not only celebrates student achievement but also marks an important milestone as many students prepare to progress into higher education, employment or the next stage of their creative development.
A private view for invited guests will take place on Monday 15th June, ahead of the exhibition opening to the public from Tuesday 16th June to Thursday 18th June, between 9am and 4pm. Visitors are asked to register at main reception on arrival.
