Artistic talent in Surrey “A” Level Art Exhibition

In October 2008  over 300 people came to Betchworth in Surrey to see an exhibition of art submitted by students of twelve local schools for their A level examinations.

The exhibition was staged by Ashtead, Betchworth, Bookham, Dorking, Epsom, Leatherhead and Reigate Societies with grants from Patricia Fay Memorial Fund and East Surrey Area NADFAS.
Teachers, students and visitors were inspired by the talent shown by the A level entries. Some comments from visitors; ‘very inspiring – much better that the Turner prize entries’; ’amazing work, such talent’; ‘incredible imagination – outstanding’; A privilege to see such fantastic work’.

The standard of the artwork was outstanding and fully justified the time and effort involved.
