Weston College’s very own Creative Arts Department recently held the most amazing Summer Festival. The celebration of Art & Design, Fashion, Creative & Digital Media, Graphic Design, Photography and music learners took place from 16th-18th June at our Loxton Campus – with activities and shows for all the family to enjoy! 

The commemorate the class of 2022 coming to an end, the festival-style event showcased an array of awe-inspiring work. From a full art exhibition, filled with works by creative arts learners of all levels, to live performances from our incredible music learners – the festival was truly an event to behold! Music Performance and Production learner, Millie, told us she was thrilled to have the opportunity to perform to such a big audience, stating "we got to perform in the huge marquee on the field on a real stage, it's so exciting to play in such a professional atmosphere...I really want to pursue a career in performing music so it was great experience!"

The show was a fantastic opportunity for learners to gain some invaluable industry experience, with encouragement to show-off their work and boost their networking skills. This is one of the many initiatives and career-boosting benefits backed by our Careers Excellence Hub (CEH), supporting learners to create brighter futures and develop essential skills needed to have a successful career! 

Receiving raving reviews from all in attendance, the celebratory event was a tremendous success!  

Rachel Heath, Dean of our Creative Arts faculty, had the following to say: 

“The Creative Arts Summer Festival is absolutely essential in developing our learners’ employability and career prospects. As creatives, it is crucial to have the confidence and ability to showcase your work and be part of conversations with people throughout the industry. The Summer Festival gives students their first taste of professional life. This year’s show was a roaring success, and I received so many positive comments. I’d like to say a huge well done and congratulations to all the students that took part!”
