With the student year wrapping up, Wintec’s Media Arts students are preparing to showcase their work to friends, family, community and industry.
Media Arts Head of School Margi Moore says: “Every year staff and students look forward to this end of year celebration. The exhibitions and shows are a way of sharing students’ talent, skills and sheer hard work with potential employers.”
To kick it all off, the two-year Diploma in Fashion Design and Practice students will stage a fashion show, this year aptly named generation TWENTY ELEVEN. The runway show debuted to an eager audience in 2009, as the inaugural graduates completed the programme; and has been a much anticipated event ever since.
Year 2, 3 and Postgraduate Bachelor of Media Arts (Visual Arts) Painting and Sculpture students will be exhibiting simultaneously on December 2. Postgraduate student Alix Rogerson’s sculptural exhibition Perfect as Tomorrow opens at 4pm in Ramp Gallery and a group exhibition opens at 6pm at draw inc., Hamilton’s newest gallery on Ward Street.
Year 2 and 3 photography students will showcase their work in Wintec’s P Block on the same evening, followed by a film screening in the Bill Gallagher Events Room One at 7pm by Undergraduate Moving Image students.
On December 6, Wintec’s Graphic and Interior Design students will mingle with industry members at their invite only night, whilst a friends and family night will be held on December 7 at 5pm in the Atrium, Wintec House.
All exhibitions are free, apart from the ticketed Fashion Show and members of the public are encouraged to visit and enjoy the high quality of student work on display.
