The Summer Exhibition for the Creative Arts has been a huge success. There was a broad range of work exhibited from First Diploma, National Diploma and Foundation Diploma Art & Design courses, as well as work from new courses including the BTEC Award in Graphics and the Foundation Degree in Drawing.

The work exhibited was of a very high standard and included interior design, fashion, graphics, photography, textiles, illustration, animation, drawing, painting and digital media.
