Nicole Horsup ( Kesgrave High School) won an award for her stunning portrait in which she depicted three generations. Daniel Ramsden (Northgate High School) was another award winner with his powerful and thought provoking image of a rhinoceros. Nell Mayhew from Farlingaye High School
was the fourth award winner with her collection of show stopping textiles. Working on a variety of themes the one that caught the judge’s eye was a particularly beautiful one entitled Decay.

November 16th – December 5th
University of Suffolk, Waterfront Building.
This major annual exhibition, organised by the Art Society and generously supported by The Arts Society South East Suffolk and The Woodbridge Arts Society, is for up-and-coming artists up to the age of 20. The standard was, as usual, extremely high, and well worth the visit to see the energy and creativity of these young artists.

Organised by the Ipswich Art Society in association with the University of Suffolk.
Anna Airy (1882 - 1964) was one of the most distinguished painters of her generation with work represented in many major national collections. For 19 years she was the President of the Ipswich Art Club (now Society). As a much respected teacher at Ipswich Art School she always included a student section in the Annual Exhibition and since her death in 1964 the Society has continued the tradition by arranging this independent exhibition of students’ work.
