KNACK – ECA Exhibition

As part of our ongoing relationship with ECA we hosted our first student exhibition here at Tayburn entitled Knack. Students from Stage 3 of the Graphics course were each tasked to produce a piece of work in which they explored personal ideas. They also had the opportunity to curate the exhibition space.

After a quiet morning (I think that was the curating bit!) and a rush of activity in the afternoon the private view took place on Tuesday 4th May which officially kicked off with a quick speech by Malcolm Stewart our Creative Director. With the liberally flowing alcohol and a great turnout I think everyone seemed suitably impressed by the effort and quality of work. Certainly the students seemed to get a lot out of it especially as it’s good practice for their final exhibition next year.

Because of the open brief the work was really diverse and of a high standard. It was great to see their enthusiasm and obviously from our point of view we’ll be keeping our eyes open for some of them coming through next year! The exhibition finished up on the Friday and hopefully we can work together again in some capacity.
