Art students showcase degree work
More than 300 art students are hoping their exhibition in the city will become a real draw.
Students from the University of Wolverhampton's Faculty of Arts are showcasing the work they've created during their degree studies.
The Faculty of Arts Degree Show 2016 opened its doors exclusively to family and friends with a private view, which was sponsored by Banks's, and is now open to the public with free admittance until Thursday, June 23.
Sam Hope, Head of the Wolverhampton School of Art, said: "Our celebratory end-of-year show is a chance for students to experience first-hand what it's like to create their own display in a gallery environment.
"Not only have they crafted and developed ideas, they also learn what kind of work goes into organising and creating a professional exhibition.
"Once again our students have shown outstanding levels of creativity during the course of their studies.
"They have created some fantastic pieces of work across a variety of disciplines which I'm sure will be enjoyed by everyone who takes the time to come along and view the work." Maggie Ayliffe, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art, added: "Students have again excelled in their studies and have worked hard to produce one of the most exciting shows to date.
"Our annual art show will challenge people's perceptions of art and will provide something for everyone with work represented by a wide range of artistic disciplines."
The exhibition will be on display at the Wolverhampton School of Art, The George Wallis Building, Molineux Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1DT.
Entry is free and open to everyone on weekdays from 10am until 4pm and on Saturday from 11am until 4pm.
The art exhibition will be closed this coming Sunday.
Each year students from the University of Wolverhampton's Faculty of Arts celebrate their time at the University by showcasing their work to local schools, colleges, businesses and the wider public.
The School has exhibited more than 8,000 examples of students' work since opening its doors at the first degree show during the course of 1969, and features some of the brightest new artists and designers in the country.
