The exhibition is being delivered in collaboration with The Duchess’s Community High School, a large, rural comprehensive school, based in Alnwick, Northumberland. 

Twice awarded Platinum Artsmark status by Arts Council England, the Creative Arts Faculty of DCHS aspires to provide high quality teaching, cultural and creative opportunities for all students; to cultivate talent, provide strong aspirations for its students and opportunities for collaborating with and becoming, creative practitioners. 

The Creative Arts Faculty empowers young people to develop expertise in their craft, take pride in their creative journey, and engage deeply with the beauty of the world around them. Through rich and inspiring opportunities, students are encouraged to explore their passions, grow personally, and create exceptional works of art that reflect both skill and imagination.

This exhibition marks a celebration of their work, produced both inside and outside of the classroom. 

The exhibit not only provides an opportunity for students to display their skills, but also their dedication and perspectives through moving poetry, evocative music, thought-provoking visual arts, remarkable photography, powerful drama and visually appealing textiles.
