Private View: Wednesday 22nd February, 6-10pm
Exhibition: Wednesday 22nd - Sunday 26th February
This event has now ended.
Godalming College are proud to present a multi - disciplinary exhibition to celebrate the work of Art Staff & Alumni.
​
'Work It Up' is a catchphrase well known in the department to anyone taught by Curriculim Leader, Dan Fooks. It is good advice and reminds students to persevere and keep going in the hope that something worthwhile might emerge! It is in that spirit that Art staff have continued to develop their own Art over the years. They practice what they preach and reinforce the department's belief that everyone can be an artist...even teachers! 'Work It Up' is a celebration of work from Art Staff & Alumni.

To kick off our exhibtion...
We had a private viewing hosted by The New House art space exhibiting work from Godalming College staff and alumni students.
We had a wide range of talented student alumni exhibiting work, the majority of whom are now pursuing degrees within the creative arts.
With speeches, free drinks and over 120 attendees (who kindly helped us with raising money for the DEC Earthquake Fund and FISCH), the Guildford community was beautifully brought together in appreciation for the talent of Godalming College alumni and staff.

Thankyou for donating.

The gallery...
Was then open for public viewing from Wednesday 22nd February to Sunday 26th February. With help from staff and student volunteers we were able to keep the gallery open and running to encourage Guildford locals to keep the Guildford art scene thriving.

Our exhibition...
Featured a wide variety of art mediums ranging from film to weaving, and everything in between! It was brilliant to see the enthusiasm of our artists conversing with the viewers of the gallery about their works. A perk of keeping our artwork local, is that attendees got the chance to meet the artists and learn more about their approach to creating and their artistic concepts.
