TALENTED students showed off their work at a top exhibition.

The first art exhibition to be held at the Artrix, in School Drive, was hosted by art students from NEW College.

The three-day public show marked the beginning of the new art department at Bromsgrove with a final showing of coursework from college students before the summer break.

The art department is on the brink of moving to new and refurbished buildings at the Bromsgrove campus.

The department was celebrating this by hosting the exhibition at the Artrix.

Graphic design student Gary Mawhinney, aged 20, from Lickey End, was one of the talented group to show off his work.

"I have been working really hard to get all my pieces ready for the show and setting up the exhibition, but it has all been worth it," he said. "It was great that residents got the chance to see our work in this end of year show."
