When we can, we try and arrange a local event for members who prefer not to travel away too far.  Today, we are visiting the UWE School of Creative Arts Degree Show (Bower Ashton)

We meet at 2.30pm in the reception area in Block F (the new building on the right as you enter the Bower Ashton Campus from Kennel Lodge Road). Parking is limited, and you will need to collect a free visitors permit from reception, so car sharing and early arrival are advised.

The show will include work from courses on Animation, Design (Fashion, Textile, Graphic),  Illustration, Photography, Media Practice, Printmaking, Drawing and Applied Arts.

On the same afternoon there will be an opportunity to visit the work in Fine Art too, which is shown at Spike Island on Cumberland Road.

Committee member John Hibberd is your host for the afternoon.

No booking needed for this event members should just come along!

Red Alert! Please note that this excursion has had to be cancelled because electrical work on site is running late.  Behind the scenes work is feverishly in hand to rearrange the excursion on another date. The possible alternatives are either Friday 29 October or Thursday 11 November.  A final decision has not yet been made.  Watch this space!

At this point, the “second” visit arranged for 6 December will still go ahead on that date.
