July 2007

"A brilliant Community Partnership is developing, enabling our children to be able to visit the gallery, be inspired and learn from the artists" Brian Beresford - Headmaster, Whalley CE Primary School

Budding artists from Whalley Primary School saw their work hanging alongside famous names at a special exhibition. The event was a culmination of a four month art project which began with a visit to the gallery. Each of the 30 pupils produced one piece of art work, in a variety of mediums, which were judged by well- known Lancashire artist John Thompson. To reward the children for their hard work each entry was individually framed by Chris McCabe and then a special exhibition held so that parents and teachers could see the work hanging in a real gallery.
