WORLD ART DAY 🌎
Today we celebrate the development, diffusion and enjoyment of art and what better way than showcasing a fantastic two-day workshop for a selection of students from across the visual arts subject area.
Led by artist in residence Jade Blood, the work the students create, which is focused around a brief of a “Future Fashion Food Party”, will be displayed by @abscultured in an installation in @humberstreetgallery later in the year! 🌟
The workshop is also heavily themed around sustainability, as well as looking at Punk, surrealism and alternative visions of the future.
Art student Jasmine has taken influence from Vivienne Westwood in her design as she uses vintage ties to create her structured garment. Jasmine has also taken her initiative outside of the classroom by getting her part-time workplace involved, collecting a stash of metal bottle caps which she plans to incorporate creatively into her final piece. 👔
Stay tuned for the outcomes of this exciting two-day workshop!

Earlier this month we celebrated the outstanding progression of our students by showcasing their incredible achievements at our annual Awards Evening hosted by the @universityofhull at their Middleton Hall.
The evening opened to the soulful sound of Music Performance & Production Student Megija Grzibovska, with the audience treated to a secondary later performance by our @napa_hull students as they took to the stage in a piece entitled “That’s Entertainment”.
An array of awards presented by devoted staff, partners and sponsors saw proud students rewarded for their academic excellence, sporting determination and work within the community. Resilience, hard work and exceptional aptitude were all themes of the words spoken about award recipients, with many recognitions of those who have achieved beyond expectation and often despite adversity.

RIO-LEANNA DONKIN
PAST MUSIC PERFORMANCE STUDENT
Rio-Leanna Donkin is a previous Wilberforce student who completed BTECs in Music Performance, Music Technology, and Drama, alongside her English and Maths. With her sights set on a singing career, and some amazing performances already notched up.
I came to Wilberforce from Malet Lambert School. Wilberforce was definitely my number one choice when looking at music courses in Hull. The teachers are passionate, the course has a great success rate, and we’re offered loads of opportunities to plan and perform at events.
