SEVEN was delighted to be invited to exhibit at Darlinghust Academy, a local primary school, in their “Art Across the Ages 0-99” summer exhibition, which also included work from residents and carers at Admirals Court, Belfairs Academy, the University of South Essex, and other local artists.
We contributed our freestanding “book” that we had previously exhibited at Leigh Community Centre. This was made up of artwork reproduced from our previous projects, printed out, mounted onto board and constructed into an A3 concertina book design. The artwork included pieces from our Estuary sketchbooks and our Railway inspired series that we showed previously at Leigh-on-Sea train station waiting room.
It was wonderful to see the children and parents so engaged with the art and variety of ideas. Thank you to Mrs Buckley and the school for inviting us to participate, and its great to see a school that recognises the importance of creativity.
The exhibition was held on 16 July 2024 at Darlinghurst Academy.
