An exhibition at the new Pop! Space in Bognor Regis will showcase photography created by children and young people as part of a project creatively re-imagining Bognor Regis town centre.
Taking place from October 21 to 29, the art exhibition will feature photography developed by children and young people from Felpham Community College, Edward Bryant School and Sussex Clubs for Young People.
The pupils have been working with an artist as part of the Our Town Bognor Regis project.
Our Town has seen a wide range of children and young people work with a photography artist to bring to life their visions for the town centre.
The project has been commissioned by national youth arts charity Artswork as part of the Arun Inspires programme, and devised in partnership Bognor Regis Business Improvement District (BID), the Regis Centre and Arun District Council.
Arun Inspires Programme Manager, Beccy East, said:
"The inspiration and opportunity that culture can offer children and young people drives Artswork and this event is all about local children and families sharing their creativity and getting inspired by high quality local and international artists."
Cllr Jacky Pendleton, Chair of the Housing and Wellbeing Committee at Arun District Council, added:
“I’m delighted to see this art exhibition getting underway, working with professional artists has really inspired our students and I’d like to once again thank Artswork for the incredible work they do to empower young people through arts and culture.
“I would urge residents to come along to the exhibition at Pop! to see for themselves the talent these young people possess, as they share their vision for Bognor Regis town centre via this inspiring project.”
The Pop! Space is a new space run by Bognor Regis BID to showcase local business and creativity.
An art opening will take place on Friday October 21, from 5.30pm – 7pm.
