Westgate Academy

A few members of the exhibit have been working with the children at Westgate Academy (a local school in Lincoln) to make bird masks that will be exhibited in St Benedict’s, alongside the artists performance masks. The performance that will be taking place once a day is interactive in its own right, so it only seemed fitting to take the exhibit into the community. Getting more young people involved in Art is very important. Self-expression is a fundamental part of growing up.

 

Three Girls and Three boys won a prise for the best masks. However, they were all amazing. If we could every child would have revived a prize. It was a great day for the kids, but I think the artists had the most fun. Working with the children to create something for the exhibit was indeed a rewarding experience.
