We’re pleased to welcome the NOW I OWN art exhibition in Council House Gallery 🎨 This exhibition revolves around creative bravery, where students from FORM’s Creative Schools Program have taken charge of the curatorial brief over how their work is shown. Their presentations offer evidence of a process, and manifest stories of exposure, adventure, frustration and breakthrough, of discovery, determination and trust. The exhibition will be running until 28 October, so make sure you pop by to appreciate the creative expressions of these many talented students. 💛 https://lnkd.in/gztHRVMq
