Work by ESC Lewes students studying Art & Design Extended Diploma, will be showcased along with the work of two Beauty & Makeup students at the Star Brewery Inn this month in an exciting new exhibition, Visions to Enchant. Their work is based on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera, ‘The Magic Flute’.
To help support the students, members of the public are invited to the exhibition and encouraged to fill in a short questionnaire and vote for their favourite piece of work. The 'best in show’ will be awarded in a private view to be held at lunchtime on Sunday 26 March. A selection of exhibited work is shortlisted for the Royal Opera House Design Challenge 2023.
Each year, East Sussex College Art & Design students submit work for the Royal Opera House Design Challenge. The competition, open to all UK FE colleges and sixth form schools/colleges, is an incredible opportunity for students to engage with a ‘live’ brief, a real client, and create a design for the most prestigious stage in the country, if not the world.
Locally, it provides the Art & Design Extended Diploma, Animation & Illustration and Beauty & Make-Up students from ESC Lewes the opportunity to test and develop their marketing, production and creative design skills based around a production.
Students will hear if they have been successful in the Royal Opera House Design Challenge later this Spring. This will be the tenth consecutive competition the College has entered, and follows College success in all its previous years.
Visions to Enchant runs from 21-26 march 2023 at The Star Brewery Gallery, Lewes. The Private View (tickets only), runs until 1pm, before opening to the general public 1pm-4pm.
