AN exhibition of work, Unseen, by Hereford College of Arts staff opened this week and will run until Thursday, March 3.

Unseen is the second annual group exhibition at the home of HCA’s university-level students, College Road Campus. The dedicated arts college boasts a large number of talented artists among its staff, bringing their wide expertise to students from across the college and university-level courses.

From library staff to academic staff, from paintings, photography and installations to jewellery, prints and sculpture, a number of the College’s artists and makers will be sharing their work in this dedicated exhibition, which gives students and members of the public an opportunity to see what their tutors and college staff make in their own artistic practices away from college.

“There’s a great culture here at HCA that encourages and nurtures staff and students with their creative practices,” said Rebecca Farkas, one of the exhibitors in Unseen, who is also a housing officer at the college. “Being taught or working alongside an artist or maker doesn’t just mean you can benefit from their guidance with your work; they are able to offer advice on costings and budgeting, marketing and networking and so on. Unseen gives students and members of the public the chance to see what we are creating and we’re looking forward to showing our work.”

Among the artists exhibiting alongside Rebecca are Kate Selene, BA (Hons) Contemporary Design Crafts Course Leader, who is curating the exhibition; Alex Thimm, BA (Hons) Photography Course Leader; Emily Nicholls, a graduate of the photography course who now works as a Student Union campaigns officer and Martin Cameron, a librarian at the college.

The show is open, Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4.30pm at HCA's College Road Campus.
