Impington Village College’s 49th annual art exhibition will take place during the spring half-term from the 13th to the 16th February. The first exhibition took place in 1959, when some friends of the college bought a painting by Mervyn Roe, a local artist and former student of the college. This was the first of their many contributions to the College’s art collection, which also includes sketches by Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland.
Since 1959 the exhibition has grown and this year it will contain about 400 works by local artists in a wide variety of materials and styles. The exhibits will be for sale at prices from £30. upwards.
At the private view from 7.00 – 9.00 pm on Saturday the 13th of February, visitors will be able to view the exhibits and meet some of the artists. The £3 ticket (available at the door) will include a catalogue, along with complimentary wine and snacks.
Entry to the exhibition is free during the rest of the week and the opening times are:
Sunday 14 February: 2.30 – 6.00 pm
Monday 15 February: 2.00 – 4.00 pm and 7.00 – 9.00 pm
Tuesday 16 February 2.00 – 4.00 pm and 7.00 – 9.00 pm
The event is organised by the IVC Parent, Staff and Friends Association, a local charity, which rises money for the college. Each year about £3,000 worth of paintings are sold and the commission on the sales is used to support the work of the College.
