City College Southampton presents 'That's What I Call Art'

Friday 10th – Sunday 12th June 2022

God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, Southampton, SO14 2NY

Every summer City College’s creative arts students showcase their work in a public exhibition, this year it was hosted once again in God’s House Tower. This annual Creative Industries Exhibition was open to the public with a private view event held in the evening to celebrate the final major projects of their creative students.

This historic building was transformed into a large exhibition space displaying creative work from full-time, part-time and higher education students. The work on show included a wide range of specialisms, such as fine art, print-making, painting, sculpture, photography, illustration and graphic design.

Students were present during the private view to talk to invited guests about their artistic journey, and their methods of research, investigation and experimentation which led to their final exhibition work.

Principal Martin Sim said “I really enjoyed seeing the student’s work and the location was fantastic. I even went to the exhibition twice in the end. The art team and students should be very proud of what they have achieved.”

Delighted with the success of the opening night, creative arts teacher Beth Fletcher added: “The team are so proud of the incredible work produced by our students for this exhibition. This was our most successful exhibition to date, and everyone worked very hard to ensure its success. We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who visited. We appreciate the continued support of our students by God’s House Tower, and look forward to working with them and seeing you all there next year.”
