showing off…


All of the end-of-year exhibitions are still proudly on show around the Beacon Centre. Just in case you can't make it down to the college to have a look, or you just want to look from the comfort of your own computer screen, ipad, mobile phone or whatever else you look at pictures on these days, we have uploaded an album on our facebook page. Above is a quick selection from some of the show highlights, but if you want to view the full photo album, you can do that here


There is still time to come down to the college and view the show in real life, but don't wait too long, it's only on show until Wednesday 4th July (the date we mentioned before for public viewing was wrong, sorry!)

come on in…


Well, it's done and dusted once again. Last night marked the grand opening and private view of the Extended Diploma Final Show 2012 (along with all the other art & design courses at Blackburn College). We had a fantastic theme for our yearbook (British Summer/The Seaside), which carried through to our exhibition… we had our very own ice cream van set up in the studios, serving ice cream cones & lollipops! The work on display was great as always, and well done to all our second years. Hopefully some fantastic photos are to follow…
The exhibition is now open to the public until next Friday, the 22nd June, so come down and have a look if you can. It will be next year's show before we know it!

just like it never ended…


The exhibition-putting-up-machine is in full swing. Everything is going non-stop… the painting, the printing, the cutting, the spray-mounting and the digital editing! We don't want to give too much away until the opening night, because we want to see you there :)


Opening night is Wednesday 20th June, from 6.30pm…all our friends past and present are welcome!

all white, all white…



That time is here once again…exhibition time!! Most things are quite a bit different this year; New building, new exhibition space, new boards, even some new exhibition surprises… However, some things are the same as ever, such as the need to paint everything white, several times!
Hopefully the paint will just go onto the boards, and not onto the floor or any of our second years… and hopefully all the students will survive without Sue, Mandy or Tim trying to clobber them for making a horrible mess! Keep an eye on the blog for some more updates on how the exhibition is coming along.
