TRENT COLLEGE ART STUDENTS EXHIBIT AT CHATSWORTH HOUSE

On Sunday 7th March, Trent College’s Year 12 Art students held a Private View exhibition of their work in the Carriage Restaurant at Chatsworth House.

After an onsite educational visit in the Autumn to Chatsworth House, which involved drawing and painting in the house and grounds, artwork was then developed in the department’s studios at Trent College. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to use the architecture and landscape of the Chatsworth Estate as a source of inspiration for their drawing, painting and printmaking.

The private view was a great success and was well attended by students, parents, alumni, governors and staff. It was also a great privilege to have owner of the Chatsworth Estate and President of Trent College, His Grace The 12th Duke of Devonshire CBE attend, spending time talking to the students about their work and techniques used. He was very impressed by the standard and accepted our gift of one of the exhibited pieces of his own choice.
From Sunday 14th March, a selection of the work will be on display for several weeks to the public within the Conservatory of the Carriage House Restaurant.
