Talented students and staff from Gower College Swansea were recently selected to exhibit their artwork at the Mission Gallery, as part of an innovative project that has united artists and creatives in the local area.

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.

Two Gower College Swansea students have been presented with prizes for the under 18 category of the 9to90 Creative Community Pet Pawtrait competition.

The annual competition, organized by Jane Simpson of GSArtists, gives the community an opportunity to come together from all ages and abilities and to have their work exhibited in the gallery.

Welcome to our Foundation Art and Design exhibition, based on the theme “2031”. Please have a look around the virtual show below by clicking the circles on the floor to move around, clicking and dragging to look in each direction, and clicking the pink circles to watch videos of our students talking about their work!

Welcome to our Visual Arts Right Here, Right Now Exhibitions

In the first term of their courses, our Art and Design Level 3 and Foundation Diploma students were busy creating some excellent pieces for their first exhibition of the academic year, based on the theme Right Here, Right Now.

Four Gower College Swansea students have been presented with prizes for the under 18 category of the 9to90 Creative Community Portrait Competition.

The annual competition, organized by Jane Simpson of GSArtists, gives the community an opportunity to come together from all ages and abilities and to have their work exhibited in the gallery. This year, however, the exhibition was virtual and the theme was actor Rob Brydon, with Brydon and his family judging the entries.

In light of campuses being closed due to Covid-19, our annual Visual Arts Exhibitions are going virtual!

Seven Gower College Swansea students have medalled in the Media and Creative category of Skills Competition Wales.
