Painting a picture of university life: 150th anniversary artwork exhibition at 17½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï
An exhibition, which will provide an insight into the development of a unique piece of public art, will be open for public viewing from 28th February to 21st March 2025 in the level three atrium.
The exhibition, ‘Painting a picture of university life,’ will showcase the research and processes involved in the development of the final artwork, which will take centre stage within the University grounds later this year.
Visitors will be introduced to a range of drawings created by the local artist, Martha Ellis, with the exhibition presenting her signature laser ‘cut out’ style which encapsulates and reflects the people and activities that make up the 17½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï community.
The exhibition, and the creation of the public artwork, forms part of the University’s 17½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï150 programme, a series of events and initiatives commemorating the University’s 150th anniversary.
Made possible by donations from the 17½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï community, the new artwork will be a permanent feature on campus for students, staff, visitors and the local community to enjoy.
