We often invite contemporary artists to work with our students. Over the past few years we have had several visiting artists working with our students in practical workshops and many former students visited to discuss current degree courses or their line of employment.
Annually we attend the UCAS, “Design your Future” event in Manchester.
Visits and trips have included Edinburgh, Liverpool, Falmouth, Verona, and New York. Strong links are continuing to develop with several universities including Falmouth, Huddersfield, Cumbria, UCLAN, and Manchester through portfolio review sessions, workshops, talks, and tours. Students also have the opportunity to enter various art competitions, live briefs, community art ventures, and enterprise activities and have exhibited their artwork in-house and externally at several locations including The Mall Gallery London, The Hounds Hill Shopping Centre, Blackpool Tower and Booths Gallery Lytham.
