You are invited to the Shop end of project sharing event: 14th May 2-7pm

You are invited by YR12 Visual Arts & Design strand to come to their end of Shop Project event to experience their work and consume tea and cake on the 14th May, 2 – 7pm

Unit 50-51, Whitgift Centre, Croydon, CRO 1UQ

Come and see innovative art installations that range from a homage to Croydon Bomb shelters during the 2nd World War to a reflection of the current financial climate or an insight to the intimate moments of changing in a public changing room.

About the Shop Project: YR 12 Brit Visual Arts & Design students have been based at the Whitgift Centre in an empty shop unit for the last term as an alternative classroom in a form of an artist residency. The students have been required to create a series of site-responsive installations, with an emphasis on being highly resourceful in using low tech media. In order to create these artworks students have explored in a multi-sensory approach not only the aesthetic traces of the occupancy of the shop and wider Croydon but also the cultural, social, political, and historical connections to the site.

Hope to see you there,
Visual Arts & Design Team
