Young Bath Artists exhibition opens its doors to all.
In a first for the city, secondary schools from across Bath are excited to present a collaborative exhibition of GCSE and A level Art and Photography work which will be on display at Burdall’s Yard for 2 weeks: 12th November – 25th November.
This is the first iteration of this project, with teachers from art departments from Bath schools working together to curate this vibrant, colourful, and inspiring exhibition. Artwork is curated thematically, rather than grouped by school, remaining in line with the collaborative nature of this project.
The teachers decided that Next Stage Theatre Company’s attractive venue: Burdall's Yard would be the perfect space in which to exhibit the work of their budding artists and with over 100 artworks on display, the exhibition truly celebrates the imagination and creativity of young artists from Bath.
On Saturday 11th November, Burdall's hosted a private view for the exhibition, opened by Director of The Holburne Museum, Dr. Chris Stephens. Students, friends, families, and teachers from across the schools all came together to celebrate these young artists’ achievements. Dr Stephens congratulated all the young artists on the quality and imaginative range of their work. He thanked all the staff who had had the idea for such a display and for making it happen. He said that he very much hoped this would be the first of many such exhibitions.
Ann Ellison BEM, Artistic Director of Burdall’s Yard, said on Saturday: “I am absolutely thrilled to have the Bath Young Artists’ exhibition on-show at Burdall’s Yard. Having taught in local secondary schools throughout my teaching career, I am very well-aware of the wealth of talent there is amongst the city’s young students. I am delighted that we can celebrate such talent at Burdall’s Yard and must thank and congratulate all the staff who have worked so hard in the last weeks. Curating and hanging over 100 pieces of artwork is no mean feat and yet they achieved this with inspiration and flair. I do hope as many people as possible will come to Burdall’s Yard in the next two weeks to marvel at, and enjoy this extraordinary display of art.”
The work will be on show for two weeks until Saturday 25th November. Please come and enjoy the breadth of artistic talent on display.
