Mr Molloy was welcomed to the College by Chair of the Board of Governors, Mrs Ann Tate and College Principal, Mr Andrew Sleeth. They were then joined by Mr David McDowell, Head of Art & Moving Image Arts, who led a tour of the exhibition for Mr Molloy explaining the skills, techniques, and concepts adopted to create the pieces exhibited.
Alongside the many stands, displays and easels of A’ Level and AS Level Art & Design and GCSE Photography, 17 short films, produced by the GCSE, AS and A’ Level Moving Image Arts students, were premiered.
Large numbers attended the event, throughout the evening, including local artists and photographers, teachers from other post-primary schools, parents, former students, current students, and other invited guests.
