The Art FX exhibition, which is running at the Signal Arts Centre, Bray, until May 28, 2023.
The Signal Arts Centre is hosting a year’s worth of incredible work by Bray Adult Education Centre’s students, as it brings its annual exhibition into the public realm with a hugely varied collection.
The exhibition is a selection of artwork created by first- and second-year art groups from the Employability Skills in Art, Craft and Design and the Creative Craft (Art, Crafts and Design) courses.
‘ArtFX’ reflects the students’ personal journeys through the various art disciplines over the last year at the Bray centre and the work captures a wide range of diverse themes. Using art and design elements, the students learn to explore their creative voice.
The work embraces a vibrant range of mixed media pieces, including mosaics, printmaking, painting, drawing, textile art, felt-making, fabric printing and ceramics, wood, sculpture and mixed media.
The use of colour, texture, surface pattern and form, play an integral role in individual self-expression.
