UCOL hosts Top Art
2010
For the first time Palmerston North UCOL will host
Top Art 2010, a travelling exhibition of the cream of
Secondary School students’ visual arts portfolios.
Two
groups of students' portfolios that achieved Excellence at
NCEA level 3 in 2009 will travel to approximately 30
schools, museums, and galleries throughout New Zealand over
five months.
Top Art is a chance for this year's level 3 Visual Arts students to see first-hand a range of high-calibre art produced by their peers in each of the five Visual Arts contexts; design, painting, photography, print-making and sculpture. This year the exhibition includes information from the artists on the development of their work.
The Top Art exhibitions also allow members of
the public to see the impressive work which secondary school
students are producing.
Top Art runs from 20 to 23 July
in the Atrium at the Palmerston North campus and will move
on to the Quay School of the Arts in Whanganui from 26 to 30
July.
