A group of former students and tutors reflect on their lives, enriched by an Art School experience in Newport, South Wales.

About
This totally unique Arts project, possibly a first on this scale and to this standard, has been curated by Neil Carroll.
It has involved curating a fascinating show, bringing together for the first time in forty years, a large and diverse group of students and staff from the Internationally renowned Newport College of Art.
The majority of the 36 exhibitors, with work ranging from animation to sculpture, graduated in 1980. The show will look at how Art school training and experiences at Newport enriched their lives over these past forty years and led them in many different and exciting directions.
Each of them has submitted a piece of work which represents what they are about, what they have achieved, and what they are still doing, with their lives.
