Bridgwater Carnival Exhibition

Local Schools, Carnival Committee and Arts Centre Join Forces for Unique Community Art Exhibition

Hundreds of young artists from schools across Futura Learning Partnership are celebrating Bridgwater Carnival in a community exhibition at Bridgwater Arts Centre opening on 28 October.

Part of the Arts Centre’s 80th anniversary celebrations, the four-week exhibition has been created and curated by children from six local schools including Puriton Primary School, Westover Green Community School, Woolavington Village Primary School, Northgate Primary School, Willowdown Primary School and Chilton Trinity School.

Children produced artwork through collaborative school projects, Arts Week events and partnerships with parents and carers. The pieces showcase both the spirit of Bridgwater Carnival and the imagination, talent and enthusiasm of local young people.

The exhibition highlights the power of collaboration between education, arts and community organisations, ensuring that local children play a central role in celebrating one of Bridgwater’s most significant and historic traditions.
