A COLLEGE art and design show has been hailed its most successful yet after student’s work was selected to be shown at other venues across East Lancashire.
Visitors were invited to Nelson and Colne College’s end of year show, which featured graphics, film, paint, photography and textiles works by A level and vocational studies students.
The annual event also marked the announcement of the Creative and Digital Awards for 2017 with students recognised and rewarded for 12 months of hard work.
The winners’ work will now be shown at Arteology in Colne, while a school has asked for a piece on bullying to go on display and the Pendle Rise Shopping Centre in Nelson will hold a seven-day exhibition from July 21.
Christian Bell, who is finishing his foundation diploma in Art, was named foundation diploma student of the year.
He will be curating the Pendle Rise exhibition next month and starting a fine art degree at the University of Central Lancashire in September.
He said: “The show was a really brilliant experience and I was very pleased with my exhibits.
“It all came together well and the hard work paid off.The exhibition at the Pendle Rise is a great opportunity and has come about through the local arts group In Situ.”
Guests included parents of students and the Mayor and Mayoress of Pendle, Cllr David Whalley and his wife Barbara.
