Art at Endeavour House

92. painting by Jessica DawEach year, art students at Suffolk schools get the opportunity to exhibit their work at Endeavour House.

The process – which is open to all High Schools in the county – begins with the Heads of Art at each school selecting two pieces of ‘A’ level work produced by their students in the previous academic year.

Details, including images, of the work are sent to Endeavour House and an independent curator begins to plan the exhibition, which also takes in a large part of the County Council’s permanent collection. This year, the exhibition has attracted entries from 22 schools, with a total of 43 young artists showcasing their art.

The work is obviously created in the context of the themes and subjects set by the examining board syllabus, yet the variety and high quality of work demonstrates the enormous wealth of artistic talent and creativity in the county’s schools. The 2008 exhibition, as in previous years, reflects the skills and dedication of pupils and staff alike.
