We are delighted to be hosting a joint venture with Northampton High School throughout February in our Bassett-Lowke Rooms and Mezzanine Galleries.
The collaboration showcases our deep connections with the schoolâ€™s heritage. The diverse array of works on display have been created by alumnae students, most of whom studied A level Art and Textiles in recent years. All concepts shown are highly personal and it gives both the school and us â€“ as host â€“ real pleasure in curating selected pieces from the archive alongside works from the Class of 2024.
The show provides a retrospective celebration of the girlsâ€™ creative achievements within a space brimming with the schoolâ€™s history.
It’s a truly glorious reflection of unique talent of the future!
Free Entry and some works for sale, ends on Friday February 28th
