Last week saw the opening of the annual Creative Arts Exhibition, which showcased work from A2 Creative Arts students studying A Level Fine Art, Photography, Graphics and Textiles Design. Every student completing their A Level course had work featured in the exhibition, providing an opportunity to celebrate the culmination of their commitment and hard work throughout the year.

Gower College Swansea learners have been busy sketching, painting and creating digital and ceramic art for the annual 9to90 portrait competition, and yet again, have won in multiple categories!
Organized by Jane Simpson of GSArtists, the 9to90 competitions give the local community, of all ages and abilities, an opportunity to come together and to have their work exhibited in the gallery. Each year, the portrait competition centres on a Welsh celebrity, with the celebrity or their family choosing the winners. There is also always a Pet Pawtrait competition.
