The Cambrian Learning Trust in South Oxfordshire held its first Arts Festival from October 5 to 9, giving children from preschool to Year 6 the opportunity to showcase their creativity and explore new artistic techniques. The trust operates across Faringdon, Wantage and Abingdon. Schools nominated artwork from across the trust for the festival, which concluded with a gallery exhibition on October 15.
The festival theme was 'Life', which schools were encouraged to interpret in their own way. Pupils explored the work of different artists, experimented with new styles, and created artwork reflecting their personal ideas and experiences. Judges selected winners and runners-up across age categories, with each receiving a sketch pad and an arts voucher.
Paul Chadwick, Trust Enrichment Lead, said the event was 'a culmination of all of the hard work of the staff in schools, who planned the week and took creative control of the direction that the art week would go'. Richard Evans, CEO of Cambrian Learning Trust, described it as 'a wonderful celebration of our children's creativity, imagination and individuality' and said it exemplified the trust's vision of 'Nurturing growth – Inspiring minds'.
