Students at Tuam’s GRETB Further Education and Training (FET) Centre recently showcased their work

AN Art Exhibition by students at Tuam's GRETB Further Education and Training (FET) Centre showcased the achievements of its learners.

‘Sonder’ marked an important milestone for the Art & Design programme, offering learners an opportunity to present their work to the public and celebrate their artistic journey.

The exhibition at the centre on the Ballygaddy Road, was the third annual exhibition which reflects not only the technical skills developed throughout the course, but also the individuality and personal expression of each learner.

Since its introduction, three years ago, the Art & Design programme has become one of the centre’s most successful and demanded courses.

The QQI Level 5 course provides learners with a comperehensive foundation in creative practice, with modules including Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Design Skills, Computer Illustrated Graphics, Communications and Work Experience.

“The success of the Art & Design programme in Tuam has been remarkable,” said Centre Director Michael McDonagh.
