Hinckley students to showcase talents at creative arts exhibition

Students from creative courses at North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College’s Hinckley campus will have their work displayed at the Atkins Gallery from today (Monday 20 January) to Friday 31 January.

Visitors will have the chance to choose their favourite artwork. They can scan a QR code on their device to submit a vote online or leave a physical vote in the comment book. The three students responsible for the artworks with the most votes will win prizes for their creations.

Next month, the college’s creative arts teaching team will run a ‘Collaboration’ themed exhibition to showcase the creative arts facilities available at the Hinckley campus. This will run from Monday 10 February to Friday 21 February.

Cllr Mark Bools, Deputy Leader of the Borough Council, said: “These promise to be two fantastic exhibitions by both students and staff. The College has such a fantastic range of talent and I urge people to go and see the creativity on display at both exhibitions.”

Carrie-Anne Abdulai, Assistant Principal at North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, said: “We are incredibly proud of the talent and hard work of our students and staff.

“These exhibitions are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their creativity and provide a glimpse into the vibrant student life at our Hinckley campus. I encourage everyone to visit the gallery and experience the incredible artwork on display.”

The Atkins Gallery, on Lower Bond Street in Hinckley, is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. The exhibitions are free to enter for all. Look out for additional evening and weekend viewings on the Atkins Building website and social media @AtkinsBuilding.
