Great Bow Wharf Exhibtion

I've been down in sunny Langport again to set up another exhibition of those fantastic Hunky Punks created throughout this project.





SPAEDA, Somerset’s Arts Education Charity are proud to be working with local students on ‘ALCHEMY’, a regional Gold Arts Award project that supports Young Creative Leaders. 5 students from Huish Episcopi Academy exhibit works from their Silver Arts Award and the beginnings of their Gold Arts Award Journey where they have been working in partnership with SAW artists. The students and tutors work includes paper, painting, photography, illustration, graffiti and more and are be exhibited alongside work from Somerset Art Works’ Hunky Punks project.

The exhibition is part of Somerset Art Weeks and is displayed at Great Bow Wharf. Hunky Punks from all the schools that took part in the workshops are being displayed: Huish Episcopi Academy, Huish Episcopi Primary School, Curry Mallet Primary School and the local community too. I think they look fantastic against the white walls but make sure you pop in and see them for yourselves, there's a great riverside cafe there too! Its open  9.30 am – 4pm daily with Hunky Punks displayed until 6th October. For more info visit: http://www.somersetartworks.org.uk/venues/alchemy
