EXHIBITION OPENS TO GREAT ACCLAIM

An Open Afternoon was held on 30 March at Guildhall Art Gallery to give a special preview of the exhibition to all the students who had participated in the "Echoes" project and an occasion for them to meet the Masters of the Livery Companies they had worked with. Selected students from each school had attended a training session two days before to prepare presentations about their part in the project. These students were able to guide their peers and the Liverymen around the exhibition, explaining the background to the project and presenting their school's work. 
The exhibition is the culmination of a major HLF funded project exploring the trades behind the scenes of WW1. Heritage Artist Jane Churchill's own work "Degrees of Separation" inspired 240 students working with her to create artwork about the human impact of the war.  The exhibition is now open until 16 July.

"The exhibition is a teaching and learning experience across so many disciplines and it succeeds brilliantly in telling a story that is not well known."

"Exhilarating. Beautiful. Heart-breaking. Words cannot do it justice. Luckily, the artwork says everything that we cannot."
