Students join forces in 'Art for Good' sale

Newcastle-under-LymeCollege (NULC) students studying BTEC Level 3 Business have joined forces with a selection of the college’s promising art students to put their work on public sale.

Students have been split into several teams and each team will be representing one artist.  The artists have given their team an inspiring talk about their art work and some insight into the time and effort that goes into each individual piece. 

Each team will compete against each other in selling the art work to raise as much money as possible for the Breast Cancer Campaign Charity. 

The ‘Art for Good’ sale will take place at the Roebuck Centre on Monday 25 March, Tuesday 26 March and Wednesday 27 March between 10am and 2pm.  Each piece of art work is individual and prices start from just £5. 

Commenting on the artist’s work, Deborah Hilditch, Curriculum Manager Art and Creative Studies, said: “The sale celebrates the breadth and wealth of art and design undertaken by students on a variety of creative courses at the College.”

She continued: “Art work is individual to each artist and has been produced as part of a variety of Level 2 and Level 3 courses.  The work explores a wide range of themes and incorporates a variety of materials and processes.”

Becky Sargeant, Curriculum Leader of Business said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for art and business students to work together to support each other and raise money for a fantastic cause.”

Anyone interested in purchasing a piece of artwork should visit the Roebuck Centre on Monday 25 March – Wednesday 27 March between 10am and 2pm.
