In 2018, Buxton Museum and Art Gallery hosted Artwork 2018, an exhibition of GCSE and A Level work by students from Buxton Community School and St Thomas More School.
The original report described it as the exhibition’s 18th year, with a range of media and styles.
The students’ work included pieces in two and three dimensions.
The exhibition gave young people the chance to show their work to a wider audience.
Peter Oates, Head of Art at St Thomas More School, said at the launch of the exhibition, “Our 18th year of the exhibition demonstrates once again that art as a subject is still so very relevant. In recent years so many creative subjects have been removed or reduced in the national curriculum – but there’s still very much a place for art as a subject and the arts industry continues to grow, despite these cuts. Many thanks as always to Buxton Museum & Art Gallery for continuing to give the schools this opportunity – the exhibition really does look fantastic”.
Admission to the 2018 exhibition was free.
Former museum address: Terrace Road, Buxton, SK17 6DA. The building closed in 2023.
